Saddam and six former officials of his government are standing trial on charges of killing 182,000 Kurds and destroying 3,000 Kurdish villages during the al-Anfal campaign in northern Iraq in 1988. The third session of the trial Wednesday heard testimony from a Kurdish woman who said the Iraqi air force repeatedly bombed her village of Bleesan with napalm and chemical weapons on April 16, 1987. Following Wednesday's hearing, the court adjourned announcing that its next session of the Anfal Trial would be September 11.
