“In 2012, European researchers visited a scrap metal site in Al Zubayr, an area near Basrah in southern Iraq.

A local guard told the researchers that children had been seen playing on the scrap during that time, and both adults and children had worked disassembling the military leftovers. At one point, the guard said, members of an international organization with equipment and white suits showed up, told guards that the site was very dangerous and “quickly ran off.”*

  1. The same was done to Gaddafi’s man-made river – nuclear bombs with

    NATO/US gov = filth.

  2. For more horror stories, do a little research on what Agent Orange did to the children in Vietnam.

    Despicable.
