| Remembering Halabja -- Seventeen Years Since the Massacre By Patriotic Union of Kurdistan Bureau for International Relations March 16, 2005 On this sad and tragic day seventeen years ago, the government of Saddam Hussein committed one of modern history's most tragic crimes. The indiscriminant destruction of the town of Halabja with the use of chemical weapons left 5000 men, woman and children slaughtered and more than 10,000 injured... [the slaughter went on for a few more days, but this was the peak slaughter day; also there were other slaughter days in other cities]. In memory of the thousands who died on March 16th 1988, this day should be [but it won't because the MSM, the EU, etc. won't allow it] a day when the world stands against the use and proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. [al J has been carrying various 'scholars' who are Halabja deniers ;] |
