Yes they did, no one had ever attempted to round up all the weapons owned by the Kruds and that is why they attempted to overpower Saddam and his government by shooting at his car. And why he put forth orders to stop that revolution spearheaded by the Kruds who were no doubt supplied with arms by Russia (USSR). The northen part of Irag has some good oil wells and Russia has sites on those resources and were willing to trade guns for oil.
A Kruds also had to defend their self from Turkey who wanted to "move in" on that area of Iraq, which did not get a lot of supervision from Saddam until they attempted to attack him personally. England who provided Irag with those biochemical weapons feared that the Kruds would give Russia an advantage in Iraq relative to the oil supply potentials.
