- I don’t think that news agencies reported what former Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz today said today:

Aziz testified today that:

Iraqi forces didn’t use poison gas against the Kurds, but Iran did, pointing out that Iraq did not possess mustard gas, and this was also mentioned in a report published by the Pentagon in 1989 and confirmed by "The New Yorker" newspaper.

He said: In1991 both Kurdish [warlords] Talabani and Barazani visited Baghdad in different delegations and met with Saddam Hussein, they never mentioned any attacks with poisonous gas on Kurds or destroying their villages.
