28 years ago the Iraqi army dropped chemical bombs on the town of Halabja.�The civilians happened to be Kurds, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein�s enemies. He had ordered his forces to drop gas on the city, then inhabited by 45,000 Kurds.�

The Halabja chemical attack �also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday, was a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people that took place on March 16, 1988, during the closing days of the Iran�Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Southern Kurdistan.
