Kurdistan-Helebcey Shehid-By Herki Production

Halabja (Kurdish:هه‌ڵه‌بجه or Helepçe), is an Iraqi town in a majority Kurdish area of Iraq about 150 miles (240 km) northeast of Baghdad and 8-10 miles from the Iranian border.

The town lies at the base of what is often refereed to as the greater Hewraman region stretching across the Iran-Iraq border. Kurds in the city of Halabja generally speak only Sorani dialect, but some of the surrounding villages speak Hawrami dialect. The dialects are 2 different dialects in Kurdish language.
The town and surrounding district were attacked with bombs, artillery fire, and chemical weapons, the latter of which proved most devastating. At least 5,000 people died as an immediate result of the chemical attack and it is estimated that a further 7,000 people were injured or suffered long term illness.[2]

The attack is believed to have included the nerve agents Tabun, Sarin, and VX, as well as mustard gas. It is occasionally suggested that cyanide was also included among these chemical weapons, though this assertion has been cast into doubt, as cyanide is a natural byproduct of impure Tabun.[3][4][5] The attack on Halabja took place amidst the infamous Anfal campaign, in which Saddam Hussein violently suppressed Kurdish revolts during the Iran-Iraq war. Saddam Hussein ordered the use of chemical weapons in attacking up to 24 villages in Kurdish areas in April 1987.

Before the war ended the Iraqis moved in on the ground and completely destroyed the town.
