Prosecutor: Dutch Businessman Helped Saddam Genocide
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) - A Dutch businessman accused of complicity in war crimes and genocide for selling chemicals to Iraq knew Saddam Hussein would use them for poison gas attacks, prosecutors said on Friday.
Frans van Anraat, 62, is charged with supplying thousands of tons of agents for poison gas that Saddam’s military used in the 1980-1988 war against Iran and against its own Kurdish civilians, including an attack on the town of Halabja in 1988.
