Questioning of Chemical Ali begins
Iraqi judges have started interrogating Saddam Hussein’s former defence minister and the notorious general known as Chemical Ali, who is accused of gassing thousands of Kurds in the 1980s, the head judge in charge of investigating detained former regime leaders said today.
Raad al-Juhyi, head of a panel of investigative judges, told journalists that questioning of General Sultan Hashim Ahmad, Saddam’s last defence chief, and Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as Chemical Ali, had begun, but he did not specify when.
