The report that US has supposedly illegally used chemical weapons in during the Iraq occupation is shocking. If the reports are believed to be true then the US government must to made to explain its actions in Iraq. Italy's new agency RAI has claimed US Military used White Phosphorus during its assault at Falluja. The news agency has put up some photos on its website.

US claims that it did use white phosphorus but only for the purpose of illuminating the battlefields!! But white phosphorus is known to burn substances within 150m of its contact with any object. The Use of incendiary weapons such as White Phosphorus is prohibited for attacking civilians (Protocol III of Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons) not surprisingly US is not a signatory to Protocol III. Its time that the international community raise its voice and investigate into other such barbaric actions of the allied forces. Its time to make its allies and US accountable for the all human right violations in Iraq.
