DOHA, Qatar (CNN) -- The notorious Iraqi general known as "Chemical Ali" -- Saddam Hussein's cousin who allegedly ordered a deadly chemical weapons attack against Kurds in 1988 -- was killed in a coalition airstrike on his home over the weekend, U.S.-led coalition officials said Monday.

Capt. Al Lockwood, a spokesman for the British military at U.S. Central Command, said the body of Gen. Ali Hassan al-Majeed had been found.

Now he is alive! A miracle???

2. Different guys.

The man reported killed by CNN was Ali Hassan al-Majeed. The man reported captured is Ali Hasan al-Majid al Tikriti. I guess Iraq has more than one Chemical Ali.
