One of Saddam Hussein’s most murderous henchman was hanged today by the government of Iraq.
Ali Hassan al Majid aka “Chemical Ali” was hanged for the 1998 gassing of thousands of Kurds in Northern Iraq. It was the worst poison gas attack on civilians in human history.
Majid ordered Iraqi aircraft to fly over the Kurdish territory for five hours and spray a deadly poison cocktail of mustard, Tabun, Sarin, and VX gas.
An estimated 5,000 people died, mostly women and children.
In total, “Chemical Ali” oversaw the deaths of approx. 182,000 people during his reign of terror under Saddam Hussein.
