Study challenges nerve gas link to Gulf War illness
A Senate Veterans Affairs Committee panel found insufficient evidence to prove that Gulf War veterans were sickened by nerve gas from the Kamisiyah weapons depot in Iraq in 1991. The 310 page report cites faulty data and poor recordkeeping, while Pentagon estimates of exposure have fluctuated. The questioning of this leading explanation raises concerns about the overall Gulf War syndrome investigation and potential links to other factors such as oil fires pesticides and depleted uranium.
