'Iraqi birth defects surge from US depleted uranium ammo' [Christopher Busby © RT]

A new study's revealed a staggering rise in birth defects among Iraqi children conceived in the aftermath of the US led war.

The findings were published by the Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology.

It's suggested American and British ammunition has caused high rates of miscarriages and birth defects - including in the heart and brain.

Professor Christopher Busby from the European Committee on Radiation Risks believes the invaders should take responsibility for what they did.
