Ali Hassan al-Majid,

better known as Chemical Ali,

is executed

Ali Hassan Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti

(1941-25 January 2010)

Majid,

known as "Chemical Ali"

for use of toxic weapons,

(was) a cousin of Saddam Hussein

The Anfal campaign,

in which troops swept across parts

of northern Iraq destroying villages,

ran between 1987 and 1988

and coincided with the end

of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/aug/22/

Anfal was the name given

to the military campaign

that was waged by Saddam Hussein

and members of his Baath party.

It was a campaign

to attack the Kurdish population

in the north part of Iraq

- that's the oil-rich

part of the country

near the Iranian border.

And during the Anfal

- during the operation,

Iraqi forces dropped

chemical weapons

on dozens of Kurdish villages

- mustard gas and nerve agents.

And they are different reports

about how many people

those attacks actually killed.

Human rights groups estimate

that number to be

around 100,000 people,

but Iraqi sources say

it could be closer to 200,000.
