The site below contains rather graphic horrific photographic and eyewitness evidence of the results of the chemical holocaust perpetrated by Iraq on the vulnerable.

Article by the correspondent of the London Daily., the independent, published on 23rd of March, 1988:
" ... The reported slaughter of 5,000 Kurds in Iraqi poison gas attacks underlines a dangerous new dimension
in the volatile middle east: the growth of the chemical warfare capability of several important regional powers, and
the fear that, despite efforts to curb these weapons, they could be used more widely.
".. (in producing chemical weapons) Iraq has apparently been helped by British, west German, Indian, Austrian, Belgian,
and Italian companies, despite bans on the sale of chemical that could have military use...
"... There is evidence that the Iraqis did drop poison gas bombs on the towns because the traditionally rebellious Kurds,
who have been fighting for autonomy from Baghdad for years, welcomed the Iranian (troops)."
French Television m 23rd, and 24th of March, 1988
Different French Television networks, on Thursday and Wednesday on 23rd and 24th of March 1988, the first pictures of corpses
of thousands of those martyred and wounded of the chemical bombing in Halabja were broadcast.
The commentators of the French Television, described these crimes as intolerable, disgusting and horrible. Some commentators
considered the crimes of Saddam as even more horrible than some of Hitter's crimes.
The first channel of the French Television noted that it is not the first time that the Baghdad regime had deployed chemical weapons,
however this is the first time that Iraq, is so vastly deploying them against the civilians.
Andrew Gowers, middle east editor, and Richard Johns of the London Daily, Financial Times, writing on 23rd of March, 1988:
"... What has been happening in the last year, especially the last week, in a remote corner of north-east Iraq reveals unplumbed
depths of savagery...
Alistair Hay, pathology professor at Leeds university, England, speaking on BBC Television News, and BBC Radio
World Service oh 22nd and 23rd of March, 1988:
" The Kurds have claimed for a number of months, perhaps over a year, that Iraq has been using chemical agents against them.
But this latest occasion seems to be the first really documented case that we have where chemical agents have been used.
"Iraq has used chemical agents against Iran on a very large scale for three years now. And although the west and other
countries have been condemnatory about that use, the country (Iraq) still felt secure enough to use chemical agents.
They have used them because these agents are very effective against and opposition that has no protection and until
such time as there is perhaps an end to war war, or suff icient sanctions against Iraq to persuade it not to use chemical
agents, I'm afraid they will continue to use them or so it seems."
"The United Nations have had three investigations into the use of chemical warfare agnets in the Iraq-Iran war and
they have said unequivocally on all three occasions that Iraq has used chemical warfare agents. They have said that
mustard gas was certainly used on all three occasions, that is in 1984, 1986 anti 1987. and they have also said that
they have evidenced that a nerve agent, tabun, was also used. The investigation was carried by a well qualified team, so
l have no doubt in my mind that they have been used."
Article from Halabja by David Hirt, Middle East correspondent of London Daily, the Guardian, published on March 23, 1988:
" No wounds, no blood, no traces of explosions can be found on the bodies - scores of men, women and children,
livestock and pet animals - that litter the flat-topped dwellings and crude earthen streets in this remote and neglected
Kurdish town...
" The skin of the bodies is strangely discolored, with their eyes open and staring where they have not disappeared into
their sockts, a grayish slime oozing from their mouths and their fingers still grotesquely twisted.
" Death seemingly caught them almost unawares in the midst of their household chores. They had just the strength, some
of them, to make it to the doorways of their homes, only to collapse there a few feet beyond. Here a mother seems to
clasp her children in a last embrace, there an old man shields an infant from he cannot have known what...
"It is hard to conceive of any explanation for the chemical bombardment of Halabja other than the one which
Iranians and Kurds offer - revenge...
"As artillery continues to rumble round the hills, Halabja stands silent and deserted except for what they can
find and a dazed old man, absent during the bombing, who has come back in search of his family..."
