TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian court has ruled the United States should
pay $600 million in compensation for supplying ousted Iraqi leader
Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) with chemical weapons, the official
IRNA news agency said on Wednesday.
IRNA said the money in the case, brought by Iranian war veterans and
disabled, should be paid to survivors of attacks on the town of Sardasht
which borders Iraq (news - web sites).
Iraqi gas attacks killed thousands of Iranians and Iraqi Kurds in the
1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. Hundreds of thousands died on both sides and
Iran has thousands disabled by chemical arms.
