          Rise in Birth Defects in Fallujah</b><br>
        <br>
        Since the US siege in 2004, there has been a staggering rise in
        the number of birth defects in the Iraqi town of Fallujah. A
        study in 2010 led the World Health Organization (WHO) to launch
        an inquiry into the rise in birth defects such as malformed
        limbs, extra toes or fingers, congenital heart diseases and
        brain dysfunctions - the report for which will come out later
        this year. <br>
        <br>
        Now a new study has come out that links the rise in birth
        defects to the metals in munitions used by US forces. Join us
        for a ta
        <div class="text_exposed_show">lk with the environmental
          toxicologist who authored the study, Dr. Mozhgan
