Chemical Ali executed in Iraq
Ali Hassan al-Majid is the actual name of Chemical Ali, who was executed in Iraq shortly after news circulated of three suicide car bomb attacks near downtown Baghdad.
Ali Hassan al-Majid, better known by his macabre nickname and as the King of Spades in the pack of cards of most wanted Iraqis issued by the US military in 2003, was ``executed by hanging until death'', Iraq government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said.
