Information / translation.
A report by the British newspaper The National revealed, on Wednesday, that scientists at the American University of Texas were able to link the mysterious disease that afflicted tens of thousands of American and British soldiers in the wake of the Second Gulf War with the use of chemical weapons and depleted uranium during the war in 1991.

The report, which was translated by the "Information" agency, stated that "the force that liberated Kuwait, consisting of British, French, American soldiers and other countries, numbered 650,000 soldiers in the largest military confrontation with Iraq since World War II. Thousands of its members complained after the war of a mysterious disease whose symptoms are pain." Chronic muscle tone, speech problems, memory loss and digestive problems, among other undiagnosed symptoms.”
He added, “According to a report by the American Institute of Medicine, 30 percent of Gulf War veterans have experienced these symptoms, while researchers said that the diseases were most likely caused by small amounts of sarin gas, the nerve gas emitted into the atmosphere inside Iraq when forces bombed The coalition has chemical weapons facilities.
Even small amounts of a nerve gas released into the atmosphere can cause disease, said the report's lead author, Dr. Robert Haley, but some people were genetically more susceptible to developing the disease, suffering from a specific gene that helps the body when it is working at full capacity to process damage. “.
Some experts in the study suggested that the disease may also be caused by exposure to depleted uranium munitions, which use high-density but highly toxic radioactive metal to penetrate tank armor. When stored, the metal is harmless but creates toxic dust when used against armored targets.
The report stated that “the aircraft and tanks of the US-led coalition used about 300 tons of depleted uranium during the war against Iraq, and in some cases, soldiers came into contact with Iraqi tanks that were destroyed by weapons, and more serious health risks arose during the war, as the soldiers advanced towards the Iraqi military bases that were exposed In the months following the war, UN inspectors identified some of these sites as having stored chemical weapons.
The report indicated that “the extent to which Iraqi civilians and soldiers suffer from these symptoms has not been well documented, but a report issued by the Canadian Institute of International Studies said that there is an increase in cases of similar diseases in Iraq.” finished/ 25
