Haj Omaran. In the village of Haj Omaran we find the remnants of a historically important house. In 1971 it was the sight of an attack on Mullah Mustafa Barzani's life by a group of mullahs who were sent as a delegation from the Iraqi regime for negotiations regarding the Kurdish issue. Strapped with explosives, they blew themselves up feet from Mullah Mustafa at the negotiation table in this small house. Miraculously, Mullah Mustafa survived and walked away from the demolished house. He continued to fight for Kurdish rights until his death from lung cancer in 1979.
