A CHRONOLOGY OF HORROR

DOCUMENTED USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS

SINCE 1915

April 1915: First appearance chemical weapons on the battlefield of Ypres, Belgium, where German troops take the allies by surprise when they open the valves on cylinders of chlorine gas.

1925: Spain uses chemical weapons against the Moroccan independence movement led by Adbel Krim.

(1925: Signature of the Geneva Protocol outlawing the wartime use of chemical and bacteriological agents.)

1931: During its invasion and occupation of Manchuria, Japan uses chemical weapons against civilians.

October 1935: Mussolini's troops storm Abassynia under the command of Marshall Di Bono, massacring civilian populations with WWI-vintage chemical weapons.

1939-41: Euthenasia program for mentally ill and handicapped enacted by Nazi regime in Germany.

1942-45: Millions of Jews and other victims of the Nazis were gassed in facilities designed and supplied by German companies.

1954: Great Britain allegedly uses chemical weapons (probably limited to riot control agents) against Malayan nationalists.

1963-67: The International Committee of the Red Cross accuses Egypt of using phosgene, mustard gas, and riot-control agents during its invention in the Yemen Civil War, and of gasing an ICRC medical convoy CW agents were deployed by Nasser's elite guard, as well as by the Egyptian Air Force. Egypt denied the charges.

1968-75: The U:S: makes widespread use of Agent Orange and other defoliants in Vietnam, which the U.S. refuses to consider as chemical weapons covered by the Geneva Protocol.

1976-83: U:S: officials, incuding ACDA Director Adelman, accuse Vietnam of gassing Hmong tribesmen in Laos and Kampuchea. Adelman alleges that CW agents were used "almost on the scale of genocide".

1979: Vietnam uses CW agents to repel the Chinese incursion into its northwestern provinces launched on February 17.

1980-83: The U.S. accuses Soviet troops of using air-delivered chemical bombs against resistance fighters in Afghanistan, but fails to turn up concrete proof. A biochemist at Harvard, Matthew S. Meselson, counters that Soviet "yellow rain" is little more than bee excrement.

February 1984:Iraqi planes drop chemical bombs on Iranian troops storming across the international border at the Majnoon Islands, halting their advance. Proof of Iraqi chemical attacks is evaluated by teams of U.N. specialists dispatched to Iran in 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1988.

1985-88: French nuns and other Western humanitarian missions in Tigré province, allege that government helicopters carryng Soviet advisors spray Ethiopian rebels with mustard gas.

March 1988: In the most recent documented use of chemical warfare agents in the Gulf war, Iraq uses mustard gas and tabun against the Kurdish village of Halabja. These attacks allegedly continue in June-July 1988, against Kurdish tribesmen in the north.

June 1988: Cuban chemical warfare experts, under the direction of Colonel Juan Avila Ramirey, direct CW attacks against the pro-Western UNITA rebels of Dr. Jonas Savimbi in Angola. Both mustard gas and neuro-toxic agents are found in blood and environment samples examined by the Gent Toxicology Laboratory in Belgium. Colonel Ramirey is the commander of the Cuban Academy for Chemical Warfare, and was appointed earlier this year as Chief of Chemical Warfare in Angola.
