Kuwaiti Oil Wells on Fire |

||||||
| During the Persian Gulf War in early 1991 the United States and allied forces liberated Kuwait from Iraqi control, but Kuwait suffered extensive damage. Retreating Iraqi troops set fire to hundreds of the country’s oil wells, darkening skies over Kuwait and causing serious air pollution in Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait. | ||||||
