Iraqi 'genocide'

NEW YORK (AP) - Middle East Watch, the human rights organisation, has evidence that Iraq has stockpiled biological weapons since 1986, its director has reported. Andrew Whitley said he has a memo, stolen by the Kurdish Democratic Party, from the Iraqi commander in Arbil, to divisions 'in control of bio-chemical' weapons. He says the memo proves Iraq pursued a genocidal campaign against the Kurds with biological weapons. Baghdad has always denied this. The group hopes to take Iraq to the International Court of Justice.
