AN Iraqi court yesterday found the nation's Sunni vice president guilty of running death squads against security forces and Shiites, and sentenced him to death in absentia.
Tariq al-Hashemi was not in court to hear the verdict against him. He fled the country after the terror charges were leveled against him in December, and is currently in Turkey.
Under Iraqi law, he could receive a retrial if he returns to the country to face the charges.
Al-Hashemi has denied the charges, saying they are part of a political vendetta against him.
