Several high-ranking officials from Saddam Hussein's regime were captured or executed following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Here are a few notable ones:
Ali Hassan al-Majid - Also known as "Chemical Ali," he was Saddam's cousin and a key figure in the regime, notorious for his role in the Anfal campaign against the Kurds. He was captured in August 2003 and executed in 2010.
Tariq Aziz - A close advisor and Foreign Minister, Aziz was captured in April 2003. He was sentenced to death in 2010, but died in prison in 2015 before the sentence was carried out.
Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti - Saddam's half-brother and former head of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, he was captured in April 2003. Barzan was executed in 2007.
Taha Yassin Ramadan - The former Vice President of Iraq, he was captured in August 2003 and executed in 2007.
Sultan Hashim Ahmad al-Tai - The former Defense Minister, he was captured in September 2003. He was sentenced to death, but his execution was delayed multiple times, and he died in prison in 2020.
These captures and executions were part of the broader effort to dismantle the Ba'athist regime and hold its leaders accountable for their actions.
