Wreckage of War destroyed Iraqi armour from the first Gulf War

---

This armour dump is where the Iraqi army column that was caught on the Basra road were taken during the clean up after the war. This graveyard of tanks will bear witness for many years to the damage that war causes both to the environment and to human health. In 1991, during the Gulf War when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, a million depleted uranium shells were fired at Iraqi tanks.
