Saddam's Victims' Remains Flown Home

By: Reid Hulett

The remains of Saddam Hussein's victims were flown home on Wednesday in a moving ceremony that had thousands of witnesses. The bodies that were being transported were found in a mass grave outside of Najaf around three months ago, and were finally sent home so they could be remembered by their families. The bodies of the slain kurds were set in coffins, and were wrapped in Iraqi flags at the Najaf airport.

The mass grave found in Najaf was one of 45 mass graves created to hide the victims of Saddam Hussein's violence. Tens of thousands of kurds were murdered--men, women, and children alike. After this latest ceremony, bystanders had this to say--"150 cases means that Saddam's regime should be charged for the death of 150 more people." Obviously, this sentiment is shared by the rest of the world.
