London, July 4 (RHC)-- Newly-published documents reveal that the UK knew Iraq was making chemical weapons, but did nothing to stop this from happening.

When Iraq attacked Iran in September 1980, it triggered an eight year devastating war. Led by Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi-imposed war came less than two years after the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

Iraq was being heavily supported by the United States, the UK and other regional and international powers. The country was given loans, military equipment and satellite imagery. Iraq also used horrifying chemical weapons, such as mustard gas, against Iranian as well as Iraqi Kurds.
