130 others - we do not have their names - died in the attack on
Shekh Wasanen.
A small place, of some 60 mud houses and about 300 people, it was
one of the first Kurdish villages to be bombed with chemicals.
Khalil Ahmed Hassan, a Kurdish peshmerga - freedom fighter - saw
what happened.
"I was stationed further along the valley, not far
from Shekh Wasanen. I saw the jets diving again
and again to bomb the village. After the bombs fell,
the people ran outside as though they thought they
had escaped injury. But they ran into the chemical
and died."
- Testimony of Khalil Hamad Hassan to KCC, London
The Iraqi aircraft - eyewitnesses speak of 34 Soviet Sukhoi jets
- also bombed the Kurdish village of Balisan.
"We entered Balisan not all that long after the
bombs had fallen. Bodies were lying in the street.
The bodies had gone blue, but there was no other
sign of injury. My friend Abdullah Habib went to
where a woman lay dead, with arms round her small
children. As he bent down over their bodies he
collapsed and died. Another friend rushed to help
him also died. Where I was standing, just ten
feet away, the air was breathable."
- Testimony of Khalil Hamad Hassan, ibid

...and many more.
The birds which are killed in the skies -
Though the stars, the clouds, the wind
And the sun do not see them,
The horizon plays deaf,
The mountains and waters forget them -
Yet some tree
Must witness the criminals
And write their names
In its roots.
- Sherko Bekas
