Iranian Kurd refugee children walk through 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 Sarbakhshian)
