Description:

In March 1988, during the Iran-Iraq war, thousands were killed in a chemical attack on a remote town in Iraqi Kurdistan. In the aftermath of the horror, confusion reigned over who had carried it out. This text, by a veteran observer of human rights in the Middle East, tells the story of the gassing of Halabja.
