Iraqi Insurgents Unleash Chemical Weapons

Filed under: Uncategorized

In yet another sign of the worsening conditions in
Iraq
, suicide bombers have added chemical weapons to their arsenals, driving trucks full of chlorine gas into busy areas in Ramadi and Fallujah. At least eight people were killed, and 350 more were forced to hospital to receive treatment for burned lungs and skin.

 

Although the death toll was not as high as other suicide bombings, the three attacks were a true act of terrorism, since the fear of chemical warfare is strong in the Iraqi people. They have had to face gas attacks first-hand in the past.

It is so sad that the best minds in the
UK
And US alike have not been able to find a solution in
Iraq
That leads to less violence instead of more. The “surge” of additional troops in the area had seemed to have a positive effect before these attacks, and the
US
Was attempting to win over civilians by opening medical centers.

 

However, it is hard to mark true progress when it takes hundreds or thousands of people to increase security, and only a few to wreak havoc.

One way or another, something needs to be done in the area – and soon. Why can’t our leaders manage to come up with a sound and workable plan?

Ow on a work front.
