Halabja monument
Memorialmemorial dedicated to the victims of a 1988 chemical attack on Kurds of Iraq's Halabja was opened in the Hague on Tuesday. The "Monument of Halabja Massacre" was placed in the garden of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons headquarters in a ceremony attended by Iraq's Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, the head of the chemical weapons watchdog Ahmet Uzumcu and the mayor of the Hague, Jozias Johannes van Aartsen, along with Iraqi Kurdish officials. Between 5,000 and 7,000 Kurds are estimated to have been killed during the Iran-Iraq war when forces loyal to Saddam Hussein dropped toxic Mustard and Sarin gases on Halabja. Thousands of others died of complications, illnesses and birth defects in the following years. Many Halabja residents still suffer the physical effects of the attacks
