The South Korean military has deployed over 1,000 troops in the Kurdish region of Iraq. Though they are part of the multinational force, the soldiers do not patrol the streets or take part in combat operations. Instead, the South Koreans teach local Iraqis new skills, from repairing cars to baking cakes. VOA's Brian Padden recently visited the South Korean base known as Camp Zaytun and files this report.

But the suffering of its residents has not ended with the dictators fall. \Every time I breathe, I get pains in my chest. My eyes burn like fires,\ describes Aras Abid Akram. He will never forget what happened on 16 March 1988. As punishment for failing to resist Iran, Saddam ordered a three wave attack on Halabja. First the army fired mortars on the city. Then planes dropped napalm before the final attack of nerve and mustard gas. \Our skin began to itch horribly and became red,\ he recalls. Over 5,000 people were killed, including 42 members of Arass family. Many of those who survived were scarred for life. Half the population suffers from breathing problems and the cancer rate is twice as high as the rest of the country. Children are born with cleft palates and other deformities.</td></tr><tr><td>Category</td><td>:</td><td>History</td></tr><tr><td>Views</td><td>:</td><td>1691</td></tr><tr><td>Votes</td><td>:</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Rating</td><td>:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Downloads</td><td>:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Added by</td><td>:</td><td>Guest</td></tr><tr><td>Date</td><td>:</td><td>2008-06-21 22:28:25</td></tr></table>$	Kurds of Halabj...
