Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- Saddam Hussein's cousin Ali Hassan al-Majeed -- also known as Chemical Ali -- was executed Monday, an Iraqi government 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 separate trials, including one that focused on his involvement in a poison gas attack against Iraqi Kurds that killed about 5,000 people.
His execution had been delayed for political rather than legal reasons. It is not clear what change, if any, led to the reported execution.
Al-Majeed had been held in United States custody since his capture in 2003. But he was handed over to the Iraqi authorities in the 24 hours before his execution, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Hill told CNN's Diana Magnay on Monday.
The 1988 poison gas attack on the village of Halabja, which earned al-Majeed his nickname, was part of the Anfal campaign, in which the Hussein regime killed at least 100,000 Iraqi Kurds. The campaign is believed to be worst poison gas attack on civilians ever.
Al-Majeed was sentenced to death separately for his role in putting down a Shiite uprising against Hussein in 1991, and for his part in putting down a Baghdad revolt in 1999.
Estimates of the Shiite death toll in the 1991 rebellion range from 20,000 to 100,000. Al-Majeed was convicted of playing a key part in the slaughter during the revolt in southern Iraq that followed the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
One of his co-defendants in the Anfal case, Sultan Hashem, is a prominent Sunni leader who is considered a key player in efforts to reconcile the country's once-dominant Sunni community with the Shiite majority that now wields political power.
Hashem was also sentenced to death, but Iraq's Sunni Arab Vice-President Tariq al-Hashimi has long refused to sign his execution order. That delayed the execution of al-Majeed and another defendant as well.
Iraqi law requires all three members of the Iraqi presidency council -- the president and two vice-presidents -- to sign execution orders. It does not say what happens if they do not sign

Bush doesn't even identify with Conservative ideals, and you can't seem to grasp this. Fiscal responsibility my ass. The man never met a spending bill he didn't like. Less government you say? Hardly with the Patriot act, Ashcroft's Protect act, etc, etc, ad nauseam.

Whatever happened to that Baghdad Bob guy? The one who kept saying the crazy propoganda stuff as his country was being over-run.

You're right it had nothing to do with that. It had to do with the fact that Iraq is an oil rich country. If Bush was so concerned about genocide, why did he not send in troops to stop the genocide that is still happening in Africa?

I didn't care too much for his reckless spending, but he kept America safe for 7 year and a half years after 9/11... 9/11 happened because of Clinton's inability to find and kill terrorists..
Obama has weakened this nation with his apologies and soft stance with terrorist backing nations.

I love the "eye for an eye" model. I think anyone who is conviced of murder should have their sentence carried out in the same manner they used. In addition, family of the victim should have first rights in carrying out the order.

Especially those timeless remarks that "the americans are nowhere near baghdad" while the marines were already within the walls.
Reminds me of bigbobs spin on nasser

No Justice. Check out the definition next time - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge)
If some guy broke in your house, raped your little girl / boy, stabbed him repeatedly and the courts offered you the choice to give him life or death by your hand...you'd give him life?
...I'd stab his ass.
