22 d\u00e9cembre 2004<\/a>, avec comme h\u00e9ros le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral type-John Wayne des Marines \u00e0 Falloujah.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abDramatic increases in infant mortality, cancer and leukaemia in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, which was bombarded by US Marines in 2004, exceed those reported by survivors of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, according to a new study.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIraqi doctors in Fallujah have complained since 2005 of being overwhelmed by the number of babies with serious birth defects, ranging from a girl born with two heads to paralysis of the lower limbs. They said they were also seeing far more cancers than they did before the battle for Fallujah between US troops and insurgents.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbTheir claims have been supported by a survey showing a four-fold increase in all cancers and a 12-fold increase in childhood cancer in under-14s. Infant mortality in the city is more than four times higher than in neighbouring Jordan and eight times higher than in Kuwait.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbDr Chris Busby, a visiting professor at the University of Ulster and one of the authors of the survey of 4,800 individuals in Fallujah, said it is difficult to pin down the exact cause of the cancers and birth defects. He added that to produce an effect like this, some very major mutagenic exposure must have occurred in 2004 when the attacks happened.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbUS Marines first besieged and bombarded Fallujah, 30 miles west of Baghdad, in April 2004 after four employees of the American security company Blackwater were killed and their bodies burned. After an eight-month stand-off, the Marines stormed the city in November using artillery and aerial bombing against rebel positions. US forces later admitted that they had employed white phosphorus as well as other munitions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn the assault US commanders largely treated Fallujah as a free-fire zone to try to reduce casualties among their own troops. British officers were appalled by the lack of concern for civilian casualties. During preparatory operations in the November 2004 Fallujah clearance operation, on one night over 40 155mm artillery rounds were fired into a small sector of the city,\u00a0\u00bb recalled Brigadier Nigel Aylwin-Foster, a British commander serving with the American forces in Baghdad.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHe added that the US commander who ordered this devastating use of firepower did not consider it significant enough to mention it in his daily report to the US general in command. Dr Busby says that while he cannot identify the type of armaments used by the Marines, the extent of genetic damage suffered by inhabitants suggests the use of uranium in some form. He said: My guess is that they used a new weapon against buildings to break through walls and kill those inside.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tEt ainsi de suite, \u00e0 la gloire de leur civilisation et pour donner un coup d’arr\u00eat \u00e0 la barbarie.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
