in Tehran, Iran, Wednesday, July 24, 2002. Iraq and Iran on Sunday exchanged the
remains of 1,736 prisoners-of-war soldiers who were captured during the war and died
in captivity, a further step toward normalizing relations between the two neighbors.

of 1,166 Iraqi soldiers. In the background is an upside-down American flag reading
