HOLY CITY OF KARBALA, Iraq: This took place in the history but international media was absent… if three thousand people met their death in the horrible Halabja attack, the harvest of holy month of Shaaban Qayam (Intafadha Ash-Sha’baniyah – March 1991) – erupted from the Iraqi southern cities especially Holy Karbala – was 300 thousand people!
After Saddam’s cannons leveled the holy city of Karbala by the fierce missiles and destroyed the most of the houses of the city…
After that mass destruction, the loudspeakers started asking the people (men) of the city of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (AS) to surrender or die…
Some surrendered to survive but others abstained…
Then the Saddami army came, started checking each and every house and held celebrations of putting to death in front of women and children…
This is an epic story, took place in the month of Shaban in 1991, of a nation beaten by tyrants for the sake of her freedom, then the tyrant crushed it … but for Batil (falsehood) one round and for Haqq (truth) rounds.
It is the first time that the photographs of 1991 massacre, used in this report, are being published.
On the occasion of anniversary of Shaban Qayam, we present this report and photographs for our readers, courtesy to Kerbala News.
More than 70 heroes of the Qayam were martyred inside the Husseini compound
