US soldiers pass by young Iranian Kurd refugees 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-Iraq war 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. (AP Photo/Hasan
