Map of northern Iraq showing the Kurdish-controlled area

Here is a map showing the area of northern Iraq which was controlled by the Kurds, or the "northern third of Iraq" Wolfowitz said "has been liberated from Saddam Hussein's grasp since Operation Provide Comfort." Note that the area was divided between the two major Kurdish political parties, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). Note also that there is a line demarcating the Northern No Fly Zone and that part of the Kurdish area is outside of that zone. This map was prepared by the CIA in 2003, and I found it here.
