Iranian Kurd refugees look through a window of the house of the
local refugee committee leader's home 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 toIraq 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)
