Dutchman faces war crime charge for Saddam supply
Prosecutors today said they will charge a 62-year-old Dutchman as an accomplice to genocide and other war crimes for supplying Saddam Hussein’s regime with lethal chemicals that were used in the 1988 chemical attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja.
Wim de Bruin of the national prosecutor’s office said the man, who was arrested in Amsterdam yesterday, will face charges “for violating the laws of war and involvement in genocide”.
