Iraq awaits Bush response over'Chemical Ali'

---

BAGHDAD, Dec 3 (AFP): Iraq is awaiting a response from US President George W Bush over the fate of 'Chemical Ali', whose execution along with two other former aides of Saddam Hussein has been delayed, an Iraqi official said.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki last week wrote to Bush asking him to order the American military in Baghdad to hand over Ali Hassan al-Majid, widely known as 'Chemical Ali', for execution, government spokesman Ali al- Dabbagh told the news agency late Sunday.
"We are waiting. We have not yet received a response," said Dabbagh.
