AhlulBayt News Agency: March 25, 1987, the Iraqi Ba'athist government attacked the people of Halabja with chemical bombs on the direct order of Saddam. According to the reports, the mustard, sarin, tabun and VX gases used in the bombardment, had been provided by Western countries especially Germany.
The file of making and usage of lethal weapons and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by Western countries, particularly Germany, is a thick file and the serious presumption is that these countries are arming the Zionist regime with the same lethal weapons.
The permission to export weapons to Israel by Germany increased concurrent with the start of war in Gaza and Berlin has put it on top of its priorities.
The German government has approved export of military equipment worth 303 million Euros ($323 million) to Israel in December. This figure shows a 10% increase compared with 32 million Euros of arms export in the whole 2022.
Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reported that Germany has provided Israel with 1000 tank engines during the recent years.
The usage of banned weapons by the Zionist regime, like phosphorous bombs in Gaza and South Lebanon for the past months, strengthens the likelihood that Germans continue to stick to their traditional method of equipping and arming invading regimes.
Concerns on the usage of banned weapons by the Zionist regime in the region has caused the Non-Aligned Movement, during the 38th conference of members states of Chemical Weapons Convention, to support the request of the Palestinian government to investigate about the usage of chemical weapons by the regime in Gaza.
The NAM, referring to the reports, expressed deep concern over the usage of banned weapons by the fake regime including phosphorous bombs in Gaza and South Lebanon. It also warned against the likelihood of usage of nerve agent and other toxic gases in Gaza and the West Bank by Israel.
The inhumane and commercial attitude of the Western producers of chemical weapons towards the regional developments has always caused concern among human rights organizations and groups.
While the usage of chemical weapons is strictly banned according to international conventions, the Iraqi Ba'athist regime 582 times used these weapons during 1980- 1988 in the bombardment of the Iranian border city of Sardasht. The attacks resulted in martyrdom of over 10 thousand civilians and injury of more than 100 thousand others. 250 thousand more people sustained light injuries.
The human catastrophe in Sardasht occurred by the direct bombardment of Iraq. But it were the Western regimes which supported the invading regime directly and indirectly and whose media kept silent over these heinous crimes.
Western countries, particularly Germany, through selling and provision of chemical weapons to Saddam, tried to ignore the disaster and even tried to deny it.
According to the reports, more than 400 chemical weapons manufacturing companies were involved in equipment of the Iraqi regime. But the share of Germany was higher. This country now continues to arm and equip the Zionist regime with chemical gases to massacre the defenseless children and women in Gaza.
