... is brought to light in new study which links it to munitions used in the War. Fallujah which suffered a severe onslaught from the USA features prominently as does Basra which was attacked by the Brits. Heart defects, brain dysfunctions and malformations are amongst the defects. There is also a soaring rate of miscariages.

The study "Metal Contamination and the Epidemic of Congenital Birth Defects in Iraqi Cities," was published by the Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology. It can be read at with a warning that it contains shocking images at:
