ARBIL, (Southern Kurdistan), June 13 (AFP) Kurdish residents of northern Iraq have discovered another mass grave of victims of the ousted regime of Saddam Hussein, a Kurdish newspaper reported Friday.
Khabat, which speaks for the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) of Massoud Barzani, said hundreds of Kurds had been digging up at the site since Wednesday to unearth remains of their loved ones.
The paper claimed that the remains of 3,000 civilians, including women and children, had been unearthed at the site west of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk on the road to Baiji.
The victims had gone missing in two stages -- during the anti-Kurd campaign in 1988-1989, which Kurds refer to as Anfal and which includes the infamous chemical gas attack on Halabja, and when the Saddam regime crushed a Kurdish uprising in the wake of the 1991 Gulf War.
Dozens of mass graves have been uncovered all over Iraq since Saddam's ouster by invading US-led forces on April 9.
I'm not holding my breath.
They're too busy chanting their "Where are the WMD's?!" mantra, despite any and all logical argument they're shown.
Kind of like the whole "TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH! TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!" spew.
It doesn't matter what you show to prove them otherwise, their incessant hatred for GWB overshadows all possibility of reason.
