-->>>FALLUJAH NAPALMED
>>Nov 28 2004
>>US uses banned weapon..but was Tony Blair told?
>>By Paul Gilfeather Political Editor
>>US troops are secretly using outlawed napalm gas to wipe out remaining
>>insurgents in and around Fallujah.
>>News that President George W. Bush has sanctioned the use of napalm, a
>>deadly cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel banned by the United Nations in
>>1980, will stun governments around the world.
>>And last night Tony Blair was dragged into the row as furious Labour MPs
>>demanded he face the Commons over it. Reports claim that innocent civilians
>>have died in napalm attacks, which turn victims into human fireballs as the
>>gel bonds flames to flesh.
>>Outraged critics have also demanded that Mr Blair threatens to withdraw
>>British troops from Iraq unless the US abandons one of the world's most
>>reviled weapons. Halifax Labour MP Alice Mahon said:"I am calling on Mr
>>Blair to make an emergency statement to the Commons to explain why this is
>>happening. It begs the question: 'Did we know about this hideous weapon's
>>use in Iraq?'"
>>Since the American assault on Fallujah there have been reports of"melted"
>>corpses, which appeared to have napalm injuries.
>>Last August the US was forced to admit using the gas in Iraq.
>>A 1980 UN convention banned the use of napalm against civilians - after
>>pictures of a naked girl victim fleeing in Vietnam shocked the world.
>>America, which didn't ratify the treaty, is the only country in the world
>>still using the weapon.

-->Zitat:

"Some artillery guns fired white phosphorous rounds that create a screen of fire that cannot be extinguished with water. Insurgents reported being attacked with a substance that melted their skin, a reaction consistent with white phosphorous burns.

Kamal Hadeethi, a physician at a regional hospital, said,"The corpses of the mujaheddin which we received were burned, and some corpses were melted."

Das ist also wirklich nichts Neues, deshalb ist es mir auch unverständlich, daß manche hier die Nachrichten über den Einsatz einer Neutronenbombe am Flughafen von Bagdad als absurdes Hirngespinnst hinstellen.
