Halabja...

On March 16, 1988, children and parents who later tried to protect their children didn't know death was coming. It was a phase in the infamous Al-Anfal campaign during which over 180,000 civilian Kurds were massacred. On March 16, 1988, over 5,000 civilians were massacred by chemical weapons. Most of the victims were women and children. There is a short documentary on http://www.halabja.org/ A relatively recent article written by Heather Pringle presents some of the forensic archeology work and forensic evidence used to convict Saddam Hussain. The article's title is Witness to Genocide. You can also read the CNN blurb 'Idealist' tried to halt Saddam's Kurdish slaughter. The videos included in the blurb are quite informative.
