A documentary aired on Tuesday 8th November 2005 by
Italian state satellite TV channel RAI News 24 alleges that US
troops used chemical weapons during their assault on the insurgent
stronghold of Fallujah in November last year. The documentary - 'Fallujah
- the hidden massacre' - uses witness accounts from former US
soldiers, Fallujah residents, video footage and photographs, to
support its claim that contrary to US State Department denials,
white phosphorous was used indiscriminately on the city, causing
terrible injuries to civilians, including women and children.
"I heard the order being issued to be careful because white
phosphorous was being used on Fallujah. In military slang this is
known as Willy Pete. Phosphorous burns bodies, melting the flesh
right down to the bone," says one former US solider,
interviewed by the documentary's director, Sigfrido Ranucci.

"I saw the burned bodies of women and children. The phosphorous
explodes and forms a plume. Who ever is within a 150 metre radius
has no hope," the former soldier adds.
"A rain of fire came down on the city, and people targeted by
the different coloured substances began to burn. We found people
dead, with strange injuries, with their clothes intact," a
biologist from Fallujah, Mohamad Tareq al-Deraji tells Ranucci.
The evidence in 'Fallujah - the hidden massacre' claims to show the
US forces did not use phosphorous in the legitimate way - to
highlight enemy positions - but dropped the substance
indiscriminately on the city, and on a massive scale. The
documentary also shows the terrible damage wrought by the US
bombardment of Fallujah, and the carnage to civilians, some of whom
lay sleeping.

Equally disturbingly, a document in the report claims to prove that
the U.S. forces have used the MK77 form of Napalm - the chemical
used with devastating effect on civilians during the Vietnam war -
on civilians in Iraq.
"I had gathered testimonials on the use of phosphorous and
Napalm in Iraq from several refugees from Fallujah, and wanted to
tell the world about it, but my kidnappers would not allow me
to," said Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, held hostage in
Iraq earlier this year, during the documentary.
The use of white phosphorous and Napalm is prohibited by UN
conventions. Moreover, the United States signed up to the Chemical
Weapons Convention in 1997
