Den Halabja giftgas-angreb (kurdisk: Kîmyabarana Helebce) skete i perioden fra marts 16-17, 1988, i løbet af de sidste dage af Iran-Irak-krigen, da kemiske våben blev brugt af den irakiske regering styrker i den kurdiske by Halabja i irakisk Kurdistan. The attack quickly killed thousands of people and animals (3,200-5,000 dead) and injured 7,000-10,000, most of them civilians; thousands more died of complications, diseases, and birth defects in the years after the attack. Angrebet hurtigt dræbt tusinder af mennesker og dyr (3,200-5,000 døde) og sårede 7,000-10,000, de fleste civile, tusinder døde af komplikationer, sygdomme og medfødte defekter i årene efter angrebet.The incident, which some define as an act of genocide, was as of 2010 the largest-scale chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history. It was an event that is historically separate from the Operation Anfal (the 1986-1989 campaign conducted by the Saddam Hussein's regime's in order to terrorize the Kurdish rural population and end the peshmerga rebellions by brutal means), as the Iranian troops allied to the rebels were also involved in the Halabja events. Den hændelse, som nogle definerer som et folkedrab, som det var i 2010 den største skala kemiske våben, angreb rettet mod en civil-befolket område i historien. Det var en begivenhed, som historisk set adskilt fra Operation Anfal (i 1986-1989 kampagne under Saddam Hussein-styrets med henblik på at terrorisere den kurdiske befolkning i landdistrikterne og afslutte peshmerga opstande brutale midler), som den iranske tropper allierede til oprørerne var også involveret i Halabja begivenheder.

Halabja is the old tale of unfrgettable of human history .
Halabja, the everlasting tale which has been recorded in the book of ((human wonders)).
Halabja is the territory of the Kurd, whom as far back as they can remember has been the victims of the most prejudice and violent actions of the unjust Iraqi regime due to their Islamic beliefs.
Halabja is located in a vast area that both greenery and beauty as well as faith and resistance have grown and blossomed in it.
Halabja is the old tale of the knife in the back.
Halabja is the battleground of a regime, armed with complex warfare technology against the unarmed people of its own country; the battle of mustard gas with the lungs of the infant children; the battle of cyanide with the throbbing hearts of the unarmed men and women; the battle of fighter bombers with mothers who have hidden in their bosoms their beloved children, or men who have turned their bodies into barricades for their wives.
Halabja the innocent land whose cries of innocence were muffled in its own geographic boundaries and where the resistance of its own people was choked with black chemical clouds.
