Pentagon revises Gulf nerve gas exposure counts
The Pentagon will告 notify about 30,000 Gulf War veterans who likely came in contact with low levels of sarin after earlier denials, while another 30,000 are told they probably were not exposed. Officials cite better weather and troop-location data guiding the revision, which aims to clarify health effects from the Khamisiyah depot demolitions in March 1991. The update is set to be released mid to late November.
