Children in Fallujah, Iraq are being born with grotesque deformities at a rate outside of the statistical boundaries of natural occurrence. The prevailing theory is that the United States' use of chemical weapons, namely white phosphorus or even depleted uranium, is the cause.

A definitive explanation has not yet been found for the cause of the anomalies, but the increasing ratio of children being born with problems should be reason enough for an investigation into the matter.

Here is an excerpt from an letter from Dr. Ali Abdussalam Treki to the United Nations:

Young women in Fallujah in Iraq are terrified of having children because of the increasing number of babies born grotesquely deformed, with no heads, two heads, a single eye in their foreheads, scaly bodies or missing limbs. In addition, young children in Fallujah are now experiencing hideous cancers and leukaemias. These deformities are now well documented, for example in television documentaries on SKY UK on September 1 2009, and on SKY UK June 2008. Our direct contact with doctors in Fallujah report that:

In September 2009, Fallujah General Hospital had 170 new born babies, 24% of whom were dead within the first seven days, a staggering 75% of the dead babies were classified as deformed.

This can be compared with data from the month of August in 2002 where there were 530 new born babies of whom six were dead within the first seven days and only one birth defect was reported.

Below is a video report from Sky News about this situation. Be warned, it's pretty hard to watch.


I'm a firm believer in statistics. While numbers can be manipulated for a myriad of reasons, data not tampered with allows for accurate insight. The data coming out of the hospitals in Fallujah point to something other than natural factors causing children to be born with serious health problems. What that something is should be determined by an investigation.
