IRNA said the money in the case, brought by Iranian war veterans and disabled, should be paid to survivors of attacks on the town of Sardasht which borders Iraq (news - web sites). Iraqi gas attacks killed thousands of Iranians and Iraqi Kurds in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. Hundreds of thousands died on both sides and Iran has thousands disabled by chemical arms. No further details were available and Iranian officials were unavailable for any immediate comment. "The court has ordered the American government to pay the money for furnishing Saddam with chemical weapons to attack Iran," IRNA reported. The United States and Iran have been at odds since 1979 when more than 50 Americans were held hostage by Iranian student militants at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran for 444 days after the Islamic revolution. The verdict was submitted to the Swiss Embassy which has covered U.S. interests in Iran since Washington cut ties with Tehran in 1980.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 It would be a good idea for the countries who supply weapons to have to pay the compensation. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
