The InterPressService news agency is reporting that survivors from the attack on Fallujah have reported the US military used poison gas and other non-conventional weapons against civilians during the week-long battle. One witness told the news agency “Poisonous gases have been used in Fallujah. They used everything — tanks, artillery, infantry, poison gas. Fallujah has been bombed to the ground.” Another witness said, “They used these weird bombs that put up smoke like a mushroom cloud.” The refugee said pieces of these bombs exploded into large fires that burnt the skin even when water was thrown on the burns. Phosphorus weapons as well as napalm are known to cause such effects.
