Continuation of FD-302 of ALL HASAN AlL-MAJTD AL-TIKRITI : 2On 02/04/2004 _ Page:
MAJID denied personal knowledge or responsibility
regarding Iraqi use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq War,
against the Kurds, or at any other time. He stated, "I never used
or saw anything about chemicals." _
MAJID avoided interfering with "things that had. nothing
to do" with him. ‘He felt as if Hussein was "watching" him. At one
point, Hussein’ took some property from MAJID.
‘ When asked whether he feared Hussein in the past, MAJID
réplied, "Yes. I was afraid that if I. disobeyed him, he would tell
_our tribe that I was a coward." When asked whether he feared
Hussein now, MAJID replied, "No.. If given a month to talk to our
tribe, I would ‘be able to convince them and Saddam would lose to
me." ,
MAJID wishes Hussein was dead. MAJID wishes Hussein had
“martyred or killed" himself instead of being captured. Hussein's
sons (Qusay and Uday) died "honorably," even though Uday was a bad
person. in contrast, Hussein's ending (capture) was "lousy,"
displayed his cowardice, and brought shame to the tribe. Martyrdom
of Hussein would have brought honor to the tribe. After Hussein's
capture, MAJID offered to. kill him for the US military. MAJID
believes history will be the judge of Iraq and Hussein as its ruler
for the past twenty-four years:
MAJID does not consider himself a failure, except ‘that he
“stayed with Hussein." MAJID feels he had no choice but'to carry
out Hussein's orders. :
Though Hussein is no longer head of their tribe, MAJID
stated that he could, not testify against him because it would
tshame the tribe." If given the opportunity to first talk to the
tribe, MAJID feels he could explain the situation. Then, he might
be able to provide information in public. regarding Hussein.
