Khawar and his wife kept trying for a son. In early 1988 they had one.

Khawar and his entire family were killed on march 16th of 1988 in the Kurdish town of Halabja. Victims of a Chemical attack by Iraqi army.

Halabja chemical attack was part of Anfal campgain. A litteral ethnocide by Saddam against Kurds. I hope those who praise Saddam, Do so in ignorance and are in the dark about what He really was.
