In a phone call done by "Assafir", the Lebanese local newspaper, Dr. Omar
Morabi, the president of the Association of the Lebanese Belgian
Friendship in Brussels, said that an mission of the World Health
Organization (WHO) would be travelling to to Lebanon with a view
taking samples from dead bodies in South Lebanon.
The Association after
receiving a report and pictures from Dr. Bachir Cham, the president of the
Said Medical Complex, took action and attempted to arrange for a meeting
with UN secretary Kofi Anan The Associaiton submitted to Mr. Anan a report
together with the pictures.
Dr. Morebi and his colleagues have held a press conference in the
European Union head quarter in Brussels and delivered to the international
press a full report with attached pictures, in an attempt to activate the
file pertaining to the use of poisonous substances. Dr. Azmi Imad , the
head of the department of Environmental Health at the American University
in Beirut explained that usually the gases that are used in weapons has a
similar effect as that of pesticides. But Dr. Imad could not affirm based
on the pictures of the victims of the Israeli massacres in the South
whether Israel is using chemical or biological (bacterial or viral)
weapons in its war on Lebanon.
Those substances are classified per their effects: causes
"bubbles" (elevation of the skin that get detached and get filled of the
fluid or bulla) on the skin, paralyzes nerves, causes internal
hemorrhages, suffocates and prevent breathing and causes deterioration of
the skin, lungs and intestines, and others that cause several illnesses.
Comparing those substances to pesticides comes from the similarities of
their effects: they paralyze the nerves, block the ability to
breathe and may cause internal hemorrhages and bubbles on the skin.
In view of this situation, Dr. Imad instructed that the rescuers of the
emergency team should clean the skin from the bubbles, which should be
cleaned in normal circumstances with solutions like chlorine or water, but
in emergency situations it is possible to remove those bubbles (that are
usually like oily spots) with a wooden stick or a similar tool. This
cleaning process is essential for the safety of the rescuers and the
medical team. This cleaning process is essential to protect the rescuers
from being exposed. .
Imad explains that each substance has its own characteristics and
symptoms: loosing the ability to breathe resulting in a blue face and
lips, high body temperature and muscle cramps, in addition to signs that
would only appear after three or four hours. Imad also adds that each
substance has its proper cure and he leaves it to the specialists who
would provide hospitals and rescuers with information.
Imad affirms that collecting evidence is crucial; it is essential to
retrieve samples of the residues not only as biopsy from corpses but also
from the scene where the bodies are found to discover the substance used
whether chemical or biological. And here he explains that the area
affected will remain polluted for at least eight hours. While he points at
the fact of the necessity of using gloves and masks if there is any doubts
of the existence of the poisoning substances that could spread in the air
between 200 and 250 meters away from the exact explosion point.
Have Electro-Magnetic Weapons been used in Lebanon?
There is lack of resources to undertake the underlying examinaiton and
tests as to the nature of weapons being used by Israel in Lebanon. In the
absence of firm evidence, some worthwhile avenues of investigation have
been suggested .
Last May "Ray News 24"- an Italian TV Channel- broadcast a report by
journalists in Iraq concerning the use of a new type of experimental
weapon. The latter his consists of rays of short electro-magnetic waves
similar to the waves produced by the microwave devices used domestically.
This type of ray is aimed at the human target. When the person
is hit, the nerve ends under his skin are affected leading to paralyzis of
the nervous system. Moreover, the micor-wave raise the body temperature
through heating the water in the cells. Used on live peopel, it's exactly
the same process as the the home used microwaves!
The report (that is now being investigated by the Strategic Research
Institute in California), a private independent research center,
explains that these types of weapons causes the disassembling of the
target body parts and the appearance of what looks like burns in different
parts of their bodies, while doctors could not find any solid parts of
bombs.
Bret Wagner, the head of the Research Insitutute has called this weapon
the Death Ray. Wagner also points in a published article
that: "this weapon works in the speed of light and is able to hit targets
from very long distance and expose lives to the microwaves that leads to
its explosion.." This would explain the great damage that doctors have
witnessed in examining the corpses.
Yet the TV report on Iraq talks about shrinkage of the body
mass of the corpse resulting from the use of this weapon. Wagner
also attributes the melted and distorted feature of the cars and buses
that were present on the battle scene to the exposure of the
electromagnetic rays.
Some reports point to the fact that a similar type of weapon was
developed by the Soviet Union. It consisted in a targeted ray of power
used in the Soviet-Afghan war (1980-1989) It had the capacity of penetratating underground
into shelters and caves, where it would reach its hidden targets. The
report also explains that when the human target is hit, it results
in immediate death through the deterioration of the nervous system and
killing of the living cells in the body including bacteria. This
would explain mhy the bodies remained well preserved for a period between
30 to 45 days.
Wagner adds in his report that Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld has
comfirmed that the US has developed this type of weapon, while stating to
the press that it is still in the initial stages of development. He
doesnot deny however the possibility that may have been tested
experimentally by the Military, without prior approval. Wagner is now
trying to convince the US Congress to prohibit the use of this type of
weapon. He also recommends that this weapon should be internationally
prohibited because it causes severe pain before death, the criteria
adopted by the International Treaties on the Prohibition of Chemical and
Poisoned Gas Weapons.
Would that be what Israel is using against us?
What Type of Weapons Israel Uses Against Us In The Assault On
Lebanon?
How is Israel killing the Lebanese?
A question that the doctors in the South are trying to find an
answer for, since they are receiving the dead bodies of the victims
especially those hit by the airplanes on the streets.
Torn ends, dreadful smell, burn signs without being burned… a quick death
caused by a sudden shut down of the nervous system accompanied by the
coagulation of the blood which prevents hemorrhage. Some observers have
suggested that Israel may be using some sort of toxic gas or chemical
ammunition in the bombs aimed at civilians. .
The "South Medical Complex" has taken the initiative to send biopsies
from the victim corpses of the Rmeileh massacre to be examined in order to
reveal the truth.
Awaiting the results "Assafir news paper is in direct communication with
doctors and hospitals in the various regions of Lebanon to collect
testemonies about the cases they are examining. Some doctors who have
examined the corpses killed by air strikes have already noted their
astonishment, but could not identify the nature of the cases received
either because of the siege, the lack of Laboratory materials or because
these are cases never recorded before. While some doctors find it
improbable that Israel has used chemical or phosphoric weapons in the war
on Lebanon, Lebanese Army sources have mentioned "bombs" with special
fillings, some of which are internationally forbidden.
While Dr. Hassan Wazni the manager of the Nabatieh public hospital, has
spoken of the possibility that so-called "Emptying Bombs"
have been used. These bombs empty the air from body, causing the person to
stop breathing and therefore leading to heart immediate failure.
In the mean time, we would need to pursue the inquiry regarding the
possible use of "electro-magnetic" weapons by the United States in Iraq.
