Pentagon to study gas exposure linked to Gulf War
The Pentagon will reexamine potential chemical exposure after a UN report suggested an Iraqi ammo bunker near Kamisiyah, destroyed in March 1991, may have held chemical weapons. About 300 to 400 soldiers from Fort Bragg’s 37th Engineering Battalion participated in the postwar demolition and wore no protective gear during the blast. Officials say there was no prior hard evidence tying illnesses to chemical agents.
