Iraq, Iran to exchange remains of 1980s war dead
AFP - Sunday, November 2
BAGHDAD (AFP) - - Iraq and Iran are to exchange the remains of soldiers killed during the 1980-88 war between the two countries, Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said.
"The delivery of the remains is set for November 15. We will receive the remains of 200 Iraqi soldiers in exchange for the remains of 41 Iranians," Dabbagh said in a statement issued late on Friday.
The exchange will take place in a border area, he added.
"The Iraqi government will continue its efforts with the Iranian side to find solutions to outstanding issues, particularly those concerning humanitarian aspects," Dabbagh said.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said in August that tens of thousands of members of the Iraqi and Iranian armed forces are still listed as missing 20 years after the war ended.
During the conflict an estimated one million people were killed on both sides.
