Ţirād Khurr

Ţirād Khurr is said to be a place (possibly a small suburb, industrial zone, or historic monument) in the city of Basra, in the Basra Governorate province of Iraq. It is said to lie at latitude 30° 33' N, longitude 47° 45' E, and is very near to the Shatt al-Arab waterway.

A single online source claims it has a population of approximately 13,300, but the name does not appear on [http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/basrah_2003.jpglarge-scale maps of Basra] . There are no online references to Ţirād Khurr except, wrongly listed as a city in its own right, on a small number of auto-generated online travel databases. At almost exactly latitude 30° 33' N, longitude 47° 45' E, two monuments are marked on the map of Basra, flanking a main road; it is possible that one or both of these are actually "Ţirād Khurr", and the name has slipped into an old Gazetteer, and thus erroneously into some online travel databases.
