Falluja Napalmed - UK report

The Sunday Mirror is reporting that the US used Napalm against urban targets in last battle for Falluja.

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.


This, if true will put immense pressure on Blair, since as noted earlier, the US had in the past denied use of Napalm, and has since admitted lying to UK officials.
