Saddam Hussein's cousin Ali Hassan al-Majeed -- and close as Chemical Ali -- was executed Monday, an Iraqi bridle spokesman said.
He was hanged after having been convicted on 13 counts of killings and genocide, Ali al-Dabagh said.
Al-Majeed had been sentenced to death in four unequal trials, including one that focused on his transaction in a poison gas attack against Iraqi Kurds that killed about 5,000 people.
His outcropping had been overdue for political rather than legal reasons. it is not sunshiny what change, if any, led to the reported determination.
