Tareq Aziz, one of Saddam Hussein's deputies has been sentenced to death ... Aziz has been sentenced to death by Iraq High Prosecution who has passed judgment of Islamic Parties. The death sentence is the first to be handed to Aziz - Aziz was the face of Saddam Hussein's Government in foreign capitals and at the United Nations.
Tareq Aziz ... was widely recognized at the time of the Iraq invasion of Kuwait and also at the 1991 Gulf War .. when Aziz was the Foreign Minister.
There have been many protests about the death sentence and there is a feeling that the death sentence should be cancelled internationally as it is in this country but that is not a feeling shared in the rest of the world and certainly not in the case of Tareq Aziz one of the deputies of Saddam Hussein ..
