 An Iraqi Kurdish fighter from Patriotic Union Kurdistan, PUK, adjusts his machine gun as he stands guard on the front line against Ansar-al-Eslam Islamic radicals, believed linked to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida, in the outskirts of Halabja on Friday Jan. 17, 2003. Brown smoke could be seen rising in crossborder shelling between PUK and Asar-al-Eslam troops. The fighting took place about nine kilometers (six miles) from Halabja, a city notorious as the scene of a poison gas attack by the Iraqi army in the waning days of the Iran-Iraq war in March 1988. Some 5,000 Kurds were killed in that attack. (AP Photo/Hasan Sarbakhshian) More photos (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) Got any interesting photos? Send them to Times@iranian.com
