BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Cursing Saddam Hussein, a Kurdish woman told the former Iraqi leader's genocide trial on Wednesday she was horribly burned after aircraft bombed her mountain village with chemical weapons.

"I lost my sight. My children lost their sight ... My house was razed to the ground. May God blind them all," said Adiba Owla Bayez, pointing at the former Iraqi president and his six co-defendants on the third day of the trial.

The court later declared a three-week adjournment.

Describing a spring evening in 1987, Bayez, a 45-year-old mother of five, said aircraft dropped bombs behind her house and she had immediately noticed a difference from previous attacks.

"We smelt a peculiar smell. It was rotten apple ... My daughter Nargis said she had pain in the stomach and in her eyes. She was vomiting. All my children were vomiting. I too felt like that and started vomiting," Bayez said.

The testimony was of events on April 16, 1987, nearly a year before the formal launch of the Anfal -- Spoils of War -- campaign in the Balisan valley, north of Sulaimaniya.

Saddam and his cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid, are charged with genocide over the seven-month operation. Majid earned his nickname "Chemical Ali" after poison gas attacks in the north.
