Ali Hassan al-Majid
===================

Ali Hassan al-Majid was a cousin of Saddam Hussein, known internationally as "Chemical Ali" for his use of chemical weapons against the Kurds. Per John Kiriakou: "insane" and "the Butcher of Kurdistan."

Per Kiriakou, al-Majid was also briefly the Iraqi-installed governor of occupied Kuwait, "the Butcher of Kuwait", and was engaged not merely in dropping chemical weapons on Kurds, but "in the wholesale slaughter of both Kurds in the north and Shia in the south, and then the Kuwaitis when he was minister of whatever it was he was minister of." Kiriakou recalls al-Majid's face appearing near the top of the U.S. military's "most-wanted Iraqi" playing-card deck of regime officials, alongside Saddam, his brother, and his half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti.
