'Chemical Ali' sentence confirmed

A court in Iraq has upheld death sentences for crimes
against humanity of a cousin of late Iraqi leader Saddam
Hussein and two of his aides.

Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as "Chemical Ali", Hussein
Rashid and Sultan Hashim were convicted in June of the
killings of at least 100,000 Kurds during 1988.

Saddam Hussein was also being tried for his role in the
campaign before he was hanged last December.

Iraqi law states that the three must be executed within
30 days of the ruling.
