US may have used N-bomb in Iraq: MP
ANKARA, Nov 25: A leading lawmaker from Turkey's governing Justice and
Development Party (AKP) on Thursday accused the United States of
committing "genocide" in Fallujah.
Speaking before an extraordinary session of his commission, called to discuss
the situation in Iraq, the deputy wondered whether US forces had not "used
the atom bomb" there.
"They may have used this weapon," he said, "because we are told that hundreds
of thousands of people have died in Iraq." "The US is committing genocide and
crimes against humanity in Iraq," the Anatoliaquoted Mehmet Elkatmis, who
chairs the parliament's human rights commission, as saying.
Citing recent TV footage of a Marine gunning down what appeared to be a
wounded, unarmed Iraqi in a Fallujah mosque, Mr Elkatmis said "genocide of
such proportions was committed neither under Mussolini, nor Hitler".
Surveys regularly show that a majority of Turks are opposed to the US
presence in Iraq. -AFP
