Thanks, Glen, for the posting on the Halabja claims. You refer to Jean Pascal Zanders of SIPRI. He's given talks on claims of Iranian use. These can be found on http://projects.sipri.se/cbw/cbw-new.html; the first two items in the "latest additions" section deal with this. On Rahul's mention of an Iranian presence in Iraq during the 1991 uprising: "while the intifada was started by soldiers returning from Kuwait and quickly grew to include large numbers of Sunnis as well as Shias, there was a point when Iran sent large numbers of militants from SCIRI and other sources into the south": I have heard it claimed by a British soldier in the Gulf War that there were Iranian units in Iraq after the Gulf War. His impression is that they were scavenging military equipment.
