Tareq Aziz sentenced to death

26 October 2010 12:47 (UTC +04:00)

Baku - APA Iraq’s supreme criminal court sentenced former Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz to death, APA reports quoting France-Presse agency. The first death sentence handed down against the longtime international face of the Saddam Hussein regime.
"The supreme criminal court issued an execution order against Tareq Aziz for his role in eliminating religious parties," the television reported. It said that the court also ordered death sentences against two other top Saddam lieutenants, former interior minister Saadoun Shaker and Abid Hamoud, the executed dictator’s secretary. All three were sentenced for their roles in a crackdown on members of Iraq’s Shiite majority community that followed a 1991 uprising against Saddam. By law, the sentences have to be confirmed by the presidential council before being carried out.
