Iranian Kurd refugee Tuba Mahmoud Mohamad, 52, makes tea in her
home in 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
flee 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 Sarbakhshian)
