HALABJA, IRAQ - FEBRUARY 24:  A shepherd stands looking out towards the mountains where a mass grave site of most of the victims of the March 16, 1988 chemical attacks on Halabja are buried February 24, 2004 in Halabja, Iraq. In Halabja, approximately 5,000 innocent civilians, mostly women and children (75 percent), immediately perished due to chemical attacks committed allegedly by the Iraqi regime. The chemical attacks were said to have involved mustard gas, nerve agents and possibly cyanide. The attack on Halabja took place amidst the infamous al-Anfal campaign, in which former Iraqi Dictator Saddam Hussein is alleged to have brutally repressed yet another of the Kurdish revolts during the Iran-Iraq war at the time.
