16 mar 1988 año - Halabja massacre
Descripción:
The Iraqi government orchestrates a chemical attack in Halabja, Iraq, killing 5,000 Kurdish civilians. This remains the largest chemical attack on civilians to date. The US initially blamed Iran for the attack before a majority of evidence proved Iraq had used mustard gas to support an ongoing military offensive against Iran, pro-Iranian Kurdish fighters, and civilians of the Halabja region.Añadido al timeline:
