Back then Saddam was more then just a friend and allie of the U.S. and our CIA, and the chemical weapons he had, well where does one think they came from!
12 January 2013 - In March 1988, Saddam Hussein unleashed the worst ever chemical weapons attack perpetrated on civilians. It took place in Halabja, a Kurdish town on the Iraq-Iran boarder, under the command of Ali Hussein Majid, also known as "Chemical Ali". It is estimated that 5,000 men, women and children died in the immediate aftermath of the attack, but this remains an estimate as many of them were buried in mass graves that remain contaminated by mustard gas.
