"AI-Majid's role in the genocide against the Kurds is well-known, but it appears his hands are dirty in Basra in 1999 as well," Joe Stork, director of the group's Middle East and North Africa division, said in a statement. Investigators interviewed vic tims, family members and eye witnesses, and also flXamined documents and evidence from mass graves, the group said. Human Hights Wateh obtained a handwritten list that named 120 young men executed from March to May 1999 for taking part in protests over the assassi nation of Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Sadiq ai-Sadr, a senior Shiite cleric. The remains of 34 men were found in a mass grave in May 2003, and family members have identified 29 of them. Among the documents found by the group is an apparent exe cution list, which names 120 men who were executed by the "order of the Commander of the Southern Sector," a post held by al-Majid at the time. Al-Majid earned his nickname for allegedly ordering the use of poisonous gas against minority Kurds in northern Iraq, a crime with which he has been charged by an Iraqi court.

"We might end up selling it," Brown wasn't too effective he said. when he returned, but he did get a win in Game 3 of the first round series against Minnesota. Then in Game 7 of the AL cham pionship series against Boston, he gave up a two-run homer to David Ortiz in the first inning and left with the bases loaded in the second. Johnny Damon homered on Javier Vazquez's first pitch, and the Hf1d Sox won 10-3. Brown never thought about telling the Yankees he wasn't in good enough shape to start what turned out to be their final game of the year. If he had turned down the start and New York had lost, he would have wondered whether he could have gotten the pennant winning victory. His back condition hadn't changed since the win at the Metrodome, and Yankees man ager Joe Torre said pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre thought Brown warmed up well before Game 7. "It's not like I felt any better than the game in Minnesota," Brown said. "Whether it's luck or destiny or whatever you want to call it." Frustrated by his poor per formances and aching back, the right-hander broke a bone in his non-pitching hand when he punched a clubhouse wall in frustration on Sept. 3. He didn't return until Sept. 26. During the offseason, Brown agreed to make a charitable con tribution in lieu ·of a possible fme. He wouldn't discuss the amount, but a Yankees official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said last week it was more than $100,000.
