BRUSSELS — The Israeli military is using chemical weapons during its bombing of Lebanon, a Belgian-Lebanese professor claimed during a press conference in Brussels on Thursday.
The press conference was organised by the secretary of the Tripoli archbishop, Monsignor Jean Abboud. The Belgian professor of Lebanese origin, Bachir Cham, is the head of a hospital in Lebanon.
"The bodies don't look like they normally do. After an explosion there were no traces of blood loss or subcutaneous haemorrhages [bruises]," Cham said via mobile phone direct from Beirut.
"The hair and sometimes the beard and the moustache remained intact. I found no traces of the pressure wave by the explosion. The colour of the skin was black like a shoe, but the skin was not carbonised or burnt."
Eight mummy-like bodies were taken to the hospital on Monday and photos taken of the corpses. Two children's bodies showed no indication of wounds resulting from an explosion.
"I have the impression that a poisonous product penetrated the body via the skin. Death follows with almost 100 percent certainty," the professor said.
A heart specialist, Mohammad Farran, said letters had been sent to the UN and the EU drawing their attention to the alleged use of chemical weapons by Israel in Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Arab, Lebanese and Belgian peace activists protested for fourth consecutive day in front of the EU headquarters in Brussels against the Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
Placards carried by the protestors read: "Israel today is committing a deliberate crime against Lebanon" and "Stop Israeli terrorism".

July 17, 2006. These two pictures are from Rmeileh. In this town, twelve people were killed when their minibus was hit as they were trying to escape.
ping!
Perhaps the good doctor should go to Lebanon for a closer look.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em, Down Hezbullies.)
Is this the doctor making the charge?
I know of no chemical agent that will blacken the skin like that but blast overpressure will. The doctor is FOS.
There is no freaking way that chemical weapons are being used by Israel.
All he has to do is make the accusation so that it hits the headlines. Even if proven false, the lie is out there and circulating. The damage is done.
Chemical weapons? That's a great idea!!!
Those bodies look decomposed. The blood is congeled, and the skin is burnt. They look like they died in a hot summers day and sat out a while.
That's Libel.
The Belgian doctor's belchin' bullsh't.
Maybe some of Saddam's WMDs are gettin unstable.........
I think that's the idea-I'm sure it's already on Al Jazeera, and Manar tv.
They are definitely using a new weapon of sorts, as this has been reported before. It's like the bodies are vaporized. I don't think these are chemical weapons, but explosives that concentrate their energies in a unique fashion with little collateral damage.
I agree...they are just setting the stage for when they use some of Syria's chemical weapons on Israel.
I would not put it past Nasrallah to break out a few shells from his private Iraqi stock hidden away in the Bakaa valley for use against a few of his own lackeys. The propoganda value would be worth the sacrifice of a few of his own.
