SA>
SA> The Halabja poison gas attack was an incident on 15 March-19 March
SA> 1988 during a major battle in the Iran-Iraq war when chemical weapons
SA> were used, allegedly by Iraqi government forces, to kill a number of
SA> people in the Iraqi Kurdish town of Halabja (population 80,000).
SA> Estimates of casualties range from several hundred to 5,000 people.
SA> Halabja is located about 150 miles northeast of Baghdad and 8-10 miles
SA> from the Iranian border.

The Guiness Book of Records deems this the worst chemical/gas attack.
