'Chemical Ali' buried

Ali Hassan al-Majeed, known as "Chemical Ali" for his use of poison gas against minority Kurds, was buried late on Tuesday near his cousin, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, a tribal leader said.

Majeed's burial in Saddam's hometown of Tikrit came a day after the feared Saddam aide and military commander was hanged in Baghdad for crimes against humanity.
