Οι αμερικανοί χρησιμοποίησαν "χημικά όπλα" κατά τη διάρκεια της επίθεσής τους στην πόλη Φαλούτζα τον Νοέμβρη του 2004.

Στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση χρησιμοποίησαν λευκό φώσφορο, μια χημική ουσία η οποία σκοτώνει προκαλώντας φριχτά εγκαύματα.

"Powerful new evidence emerged yesterday that the United States dropped massive quantities of white phosphorus on the Iraqi city of Fallujah during the attack on the city in November 2004, killing insurgents and civilians with the appalling burns that are the signature of this weapon.

But now new information has surfaced, including hideous photographs and videos and interviews with American soldiers who took part in the Fallujah attack, which provides graphic proof that phosphorus shells were widely deployed in the city as a weapon.

Photographs on the website of RaiTG24, the broadcaster's 24-hours news channel, www.rainews24.it, show exactly what the former soldier means. Provided by the Studies Centre of Human Rights in Fallujah, dozens of high-quality, colour close-ups show bodies of Fallujah residents, some still in their beds, whose clothes remain largely intact but whose skin has been dissolved or caramelised or turned the consistency of leather by the shells."
