Iranian Kurd refugee students study at a school 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 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.
