15 year anniversary gassing of Iraqi Kurds bag_of_dead_mice > 03/16 11:01:41

It's been commonly said that Saddam gassed the Kurds in Halabja in March, 1988.

There is evidence that it was actually the Iranians that killed the Kurds that day.

This article is by someone within the CIA who had seen a classified document about the subject that says:

"...the United States Defense Intelligence Agency investigated and produced a classified report, which it circulated within the intelligence community on a need-to-know basis. That study asserted that it was Iranian gas that killed the Kurds, not Iraqi gas.

The agency did find that each side used gas against the other in the battle around Halabja. The condition of the dead Kurds' bodies, however, indicated they had been killed with a blood agent — that is, a cyanide-based gas — which Iran was known to use. The Iraqis, who are thought to have used mustard gas in the battle, are not known to have possessed blood agents at the time. "

Yes, Saddam is a tyrant like many leaders in the World.

But everyone should know the real facts about this tragedy.
