look! i was studying Sarin Gas for forensic and this is a very sad thing to happen. Sarin gas is a poisonous gas and apparantly it was used by Iraqi military against Kurdish villagers. And the journalist who was there said this!
" It was life frozen. Life had stopped, like watching a film and suddenly it hangs on one frame. It was a new kind of death to me. You went into a room, a kitchen and you saw the body of a woman holding a knife where she had been cutting a carrot. (...) The aftermath was worse. Victims were still being brought in. Some villagers came to our chopper. They had 15 or 16 beautiful children, begging us to take them to hospital. So all the press sat there and we were each handed a child to carry. As we took off, fluid came out of my little girl's mouth and she died in my arms. "
It's just terrible. I would have cried if it had happened to me.
