"Toxic legacy of NATO's WMD: epidemic of birth defects & cancer in Najaf"

From Amir:  "Birth defects and cancer rates are soaring in Najaf, but few outside of the city are aware of the scale of the catastrophe. American and British forces allegedly used depleted uranium rounds and other toxic weapons during the war, which some Iraqi scientists believe is to blame for the rising cancer and birth defect rates in Najaf. High levels of congenital heart defects, malformed limbs and other defects have been documented in the city of Fallujah, but as this report shows the crisis could be far more widespread than previously thought."
