Contents Summary

BBC News report about the situation of the Kurds in Iraq presented by Linda Duberley based on reporter Ed Bradley’s investigations of the mass grave sites found in remote villages in Northern Iraq. Forensic anthropologists examining mass graves corroborate the story of mass murders by Saddam Hussein. Andrew Whitley, the Director of Human Rights Watch, talks about Saddam's problem with the Kurds while Jamal Amin, a Kurdish political prisoner, tells the story of his imprisonment by the Iraqi secret police. The report contains excerpts from Ali Hassan al-Majid’s recorded conversations on how to handle the resistance and the Kurds, as well as a short interview with Taymour Abdullah Ahmad, one of the few survivors of the mass killings executed by the Iraqi forces in Anfal.
