On this day in 1991, the US Air Force precision bombed a civil defense shelter in the Amiriyah neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq, killing at least 408 civilians.
Throughout the US-led Gulf War air campaign, over 88,000 tons of bombs were dropped over Iraq in a matter of only five weeks, effectively bombing the Middle Eastern country back to the stone age.
Unfortunately, the bombing just marked the beginning of what would go on to be a series of countless war crimes committed by the US and its allies in Iraq, as a decade later, they would go on to invade and devastate the country for years to come.
