Belgian Doctor:
Israel Using Chemical Weapons From Expatica July 20, 2006 Brussels - The Israeli
military is using chemical weapons during its bombing of Lebanon, a
Belgian-Lebanese professor claimed during a press conference in Brussels on
Thursday. The press conference was
organised by the secretary of the Tripoli archbishop, Monsignor Jean Abboud.
The Belgian professor of Lebanese origin, Bachir Cham, is the head of a
hospital in Lebanon. "The bodies don't look
like they normally do. After an explosion there were no traces of blood loss
or subcutaneous haemorrhages [bruises]," Cham said via mobile phone
direct from Beirut. "The hair and sometimes
the beard and the moustache remained intact. I found no traces of the
pressure wave by the explosion. The colour of the skin was black like a shoe,
but the skin was not carbonised or burnt." Eight mummy-like bodies were
taken to the hospital on Monday and photos taken of the corpses. Two
children's bodies showed no indication of wounds resulting from an explosion. "I have the impression
that a poisonous product penetrated the body via the skin. Death follows with
almost 100 percent certainty," the professor said. A heart specialist, Mohammad
Farran, said letters had been sent to the UN and the EU drawing their
attention to the alleged use of chemical weapons by Israel in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Arab, Lebanese
and Belgian peace activists protested for fourth consecutive day in front of
the EU headquarters in Brussels against the Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Placards carried by the
protestors read: "Israel today is committing a deliberate crime against
Lebanon" and "Stop Israeli terrorism". External link: http://www.expatica.com/be/news/local_news/belgian-doctor-israel-using-chemical-weapons-31715.html |
