Yes, the Iran-Iraq war. More specifically, it deals with the Halabja poison gas attack, which occurred on 16 March 1988. Saddam ordered to bomb the Kurdish town of Halabja with chemical weapons. Around 5,000 civilians died and 7,000 were injured. Real horror... Imagine those people dying in the streets, women, children... They should have executed Hussein this way, hanging's not enough.
