Halabja massacre: What about US involvement?

[Smarmie Doofus]

The Home Page story about covered up Korean War atrocities against leftist Korean civilians got me thinking so I did a little reading about Halabja and found this on Wiki:



>>>>On March 12, 2008, the democratic government of Iraq announced plans to take legal action against the suppliers of chemicals used in the poison gas attack.<15>>>>>

Some , not all, of said companies are /were American.( See below) Does anyone know the present status of the 'legal action' referred to?

Also, I would have remembered seeing or hearing about the Iraqi gov't announcement, which brings me to my second question: did this ( the announcement, not the massacre) get any media coverage at all? A bit odd if "no".... considering the gravity and significance of the deed.

Here's the preceding paragraph from Wiki to establish context:




>>>Leaked portions of Iraq's "Full, Final and Complete" disclosure of the sources for its weapons programs shows that thiodiglycol, a substance needed to manufacture mustard gas, was among the chemical precursors provided to Iraq from US companies such as Alcolac International and Phillips. Both companies have since undergone reorganization and Phillips, once a subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum and now part of ConocoPhillips, an American oil and energy company while Alcolac International has since dissolved and reformed as Alcolac Inc.<14>

On March 12, 2008, the democratic government of Iraq announced plans to take legal action against the suppliers of chemicals used in the poison gas attack.<15>>>>>>
