The family of Michael Ibrahim was stuffed into an Opel Vectra (11 people) and a beat up Nissan pickup (five in front, five small children perched on top of a mountain of the family's possessions tied down with yellow nylon rope in the back). A baby cradle was tied to the top of the truck. They were leaving Erbil and heading to the Duhok area. "We're afraid of [the Iraqis] using chemical weapons," he said.
