Yarmouk, Baghdad

Yarmouk (Arabic,اليرموك) is a neighborhood in Southern Baghdad, Iraq near the Mansour district just north of the intersection of ‎Baghdad Airport Road and Hilla Road. It is a formerly upscale Sunni Muslim area that was once home to members of high-ranking officials from Saddam Hussein's regime. Yarmouk was cited in a May 2007 USA Today Story as being helped by the Baghdad Security Plan.
