US troops are secretly using outlawed napalm gas to wipe out remaining insurgents in and around Fallujah.
News that President George W. Bush has sanctioned the use of napalm, a deadly cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel
banned by the United Nations in 1980, will stun governments around the world.

Outraged critics have also demanded that Mr Blair threatens to withdraw British troops from Iraq unless the US abandons
one of the world's most reviled weapons. Halifax Labour MP Alice Mahon said: "I am calling on Mr Blair to make an
emergency statement to the Commons to explain why this is happening. It begs the question: 'Did we know about this
hideous weapon's use in Iraq?'"
