The Italian journalist who launched the controversy over the American
use of white phosphorus (WP) as a weapon of war in the Fallujah siege
has accused the Americans of hypocrisy.
Sigfrido Ranucci, who made the documentary for the RAI television
channel aired two weeks ago, said that a US intelligence assessment had
characterised WP after the first Gulf War as a "chemical weapon".
