"Kirkuk is the Kurdish promised land. In a decade-long ethnic-cleansing campaign, Hussein's Baath Party exiled 100,000 Kurds from this city. The return of many came as contrails from U.S. B-52 bombers laced the sky." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article details the fall of Kirkuk to U.S. forces and discusses the possibility of ethnic violence as Arabs fear retribution from Kurds returning to the land they were forced off of by Saddam Hussein.
