Iranian Kurd refugee students show off their Iraqi immigration identity papers at the Al tash refugee camp 150 kms northwest of Baghdad, Iraq Sunday April 27, 2003. With the ouster of Saddam Hussein, there is a glimmer of hope among some 12,000 Iranian Kurds who have been languishing in a refugee camp for more than 20 years, having arrived in Iraq from the areas bordering Iran and Iraq in 1980. The majority are 'victims' of the Iran-Iraqwar who were forced by Saddam to come to Iraq when his forces occupied a border stretch of Iranian towns such as Qaser Shirin and Sar-e Pol-e Zahab in Kermanshah province.
