NORTHERN IRAQ. Kurdistan. 1991. Tamur Abdul, now 15, shows his wounds to prove his story of escape from a mass killing. When he was 10, Iraqi army units entered his village of Qulojeo, near Kifre, and forcibly removed all inhabitants claiming to be relocating them to a model village. After a brief stay at an army base, his family and neighbors were driven in closed vehicles to a place near the Saudi Arabian border. There, they were blindfolded and told to enter a pre-dug trench. Machine guns then opened fire. Although wounded in the shoulder and back, Abdul managed to run away under the cover of darkness just before bulldozers covered the mass grave. A day later he was found and saved by Bedouin tribesman who protected him for two years. Now, Tamur Abdul is a member of the Peshmerga resistance.
