Ali (Zimnaku) leaving cemetery with his mother STORYLINE An Iraqi man has been reunited with his mother 20 years after being taken to Iran following a chemical attack on the Kurdish city of Halabja. Twenty years ago and during the Iran-Iraq war, Zimnaku Mohammed Salih, was found by the Iranian military, which had moved into Halabja after the lethal gas was dropped by Saddam's military on the Kurdish city. It took two decades for the young man, who was named Ali Pour by his adopted family, to find his mother through Iranian officials who kept records on the Halabja survivors brought to Iran. Before being reunited with his real mother, six other families said they were missing a boy who would now be Ali's age. A judge asked for DNA tests from a medical lab in Jordan and the families nervously awaited the results. Ali, was deemed to be the sole surviving child of 58-year-old Fatima Mohammed Salih, who had lost her husband and all her other six children in the poison gas clouds that covered the mostly Kurdish city. "Once here everybody believed that Zimnaku Mohammed Ahmad had died, but now ... I am alive," Ali said, as he stood next to a gravestone with his name on it. "I am sure many of these names written on these memorial stones are alive, living in Iran or anywhere else in the world." Ali was taken by Iranian soldiers to Iran following the closing months of an horrific war between the two countries that began in 1980. Many of the Halabja survivors were taken to Tehran for medical treatment. The infant boy was brought to a hospital with plans to send him eventually to an orphanage, said his Iranian uncle. But his sister, Kubra Pour, offered to care for the boy along with her two children in the Iranian city of Mashhad.
