FALLUJAH, November 10 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - US troops are reportedly using chemical weapons and poisonous gas in its large-scale offensive on the Iraqi resistance bastion of Fallujah, a grim reminder of Saddam Hussein’s alleged gassing of the Kurds in 1988.
“The US occupation troops are gassing resistance fighters and confronting them with internationally-banned chemical weapons,” resistance sources told Al-Quds Press Wednesday, November 10.
The fatal weapons led to the deaths of tens of innocent civilians, whose bodies litter sidewalks and streets, they added.
“They use chemical weapons out of despair and helplessness in the face of the steadfast and fierce resistance put up by Fallujah people, who drove US troops out of several districts, hoisting proudly Iraqi flags on them. Resistance has also managed to destroy and set fire to a large number of US tanks and vehicles.
“The US troops have sprayed chemical and nerve gases on resistance fighters, turning them hysteric in a heartbreaking scene,” an Iraqi doctor, who requested anonymity, told Al-Quds Press.
“Some Fallujah residents have been further burnt beyond treatment by poisonous gases,” added resistance fighters, who took part in Golan battles, northwest of Fallujah.
In August last year, the United States admitted dropping the internationally-banned incendiary weapon of napalm on Iraq, despite earlier denials by the Pentagon that the “horrible” weapon had not been used in the three-week invasion of Iraq.
After the offensive on Iraq ended on April 9 last year, Iraqis began to complain about unexploded cluster bombs that still litter their cities.

The new flag of Iraq is now flying over the police station in Fallujah.
It's Ironic that the police can use tear gas, but we can't use it in warfare.
Nothing wrong in my book about gassing out a den of rats.
Perhaps a flame thower would be more acceptable. We used them in WW2 to fry the Japanese and Nazis who wouldn't come out.
You never know. Fallujah has been left pretty much untouched by American soldiers since we've been in Iraq.
The King of Jordan has publicly stated that Zarqawi tried to attack Jordan with chemical weapons. A much more likely attack would be Zarqawi using chemical weapons in Fallujah (and then blaming the US).
When our Marines get to them, they will wish that we had gassed them. Semper Fi.
I'm all choked up!
Gas? How come out men are not wearing MOP gear?
You mean those ones that mutated after our nuclear tests in the 1950's? Yeah, we can use those. We can also use the giant gila monsters and the sentient tumbleweeds.
They should have had better weather forecast. This is what happens to dumbasses when the wind reverses.
Screaming Eagle
Yeah, they may be using CS. And they're surely using WP. That's probably the "basis" for this laughable "news report."
Our troops are apparently doing well. The Mohammedan cultists reacting in this way seems to be proof of our success. The bigger the lies the more certain their defeat.
God bless America! Go gettim' fellas! No mercy!
They're probably not doing anything that riot police wouldn't do, using CS. So a bunch of terrorists will come out crying with snot running down their faces. Big deal.
