BBC - US used white phosphorus in Iraq

"The Pentagon has confirmed that US troops used white phosphorus during last year's offensive in the Iraqi city of Falluja.

The US earlier denied it had been used in Falluja at all.

White phosphorus is highly flammable and ignites on contact with oxygen. If the substance hits someone's body, it will burn until deprived of oxygen.
Globalsecurity.org, a defence website, says: "Phosphorus burns on the skin are deep and painful... These weapons are particularly nasty because white phosphorus continues to burn until it disappears... it could burn right down to the bone.""

US used white phosphorus in Iraq

USA is a murderous, aggressor state surpassing Saddam by miles in civilian attrocities. Shame on them. Shame on them all.
