Ali Hassan al-Majeed, aka "Chemical Ali" has been executed by hanging in Iraq.
A cousin of Saddam Hussein, Ali had been convicted of genocide and murder. He was sentenced to death in several trials. His last conviction and sentence was a few weeks ago.
Ali remained in U.S. custody from 2003 until yesterday, when the U.S. turned him over to Iraqis to be killed.
