This is how Minira Abdul Qader remembers the events of March 16, 1988, in Halabja, a small town on Iraq's northeastern border with Iran. She was 10, and a witness to the largest chemical-weapons attack on civilians in history. The civilians happened to be Kurds, Iraqi dictator Saddam Husseinâs enemies. He had ordered his forces to drop gas on the city, then inhabited by 45,000 Kurds. âWe took refuge in the basement,â Qader recalled from her house in Halabja, âbut when jets came again at night we decided to flee the city, like everybody else.
