Kurds Mark Saddam's '88 Chemical Attack
By MARIAM FAM, Associated Press Writer
HALABJA, Iraq - Clutching pictures of relatives they lost, survivors of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s 1988 chemical weapons attack gathered in this northern town Tuesday to remember the thousands who died.
They were joined by the top administrator in Iraq (news - web sites), L. Paul Bremer, at a ceremony marking the 16th anniversary of the infamous bombing. The memorial was the first since Saddam was toppled by the U.S.-led coalition and it resonated with references to the war.
"I can promise you that justice will be done against the men who committed these acts," Bremer said. "At the appropriate time, Saddam Hussein ... and all the other criminals will face justice before the special tribunal."
Excuse me, didn't the US support Saddam before, during, and after?
