Saddam Hussein’s horrific 1988 genocide of the Kurds is still having repercussions.
Baghdad — This weekend marks the 20th anniversary of Saddam Hussein’s massacre of an estimated 5,000 Kurds in the Iraqi town of Halabja. The March 16, 1988 attack, using a lethal air-delivered mixture of mustard gas and nerve agent, killed virtually every man, woman, and child in the town.

It was the high-water mark of his regime’s genocide against the Kurds.
