Iranian gas attack victims to sue US
Iranian victims of chemical attacks say they will take the United States to the International Court of Justice in The Hague for supplying Iraq with the weapons that scarred them, the official IRNA news agency said.
Iran's Society of Victims of Weapons of Mass Destruction will demand compensation from Washington and US firms, saying they supplied poison gases to Saddam Hussein's Iraq during his 1980-1988 war against the Islamic Republic.
The war killed hundreds of thousands on both sides and Iran has thousands of invalids disabled in chemical attacks.
"The US government issued over 780 licences allowing American companies to export sensitive weapon components," the group said in a letter delivered to the Swiss Embassy, which covers US interests in Tehran.
An Iranian court last week said the United States should pay $US600 million in compensation to survivors of attacks on the town of Sardasht which borders Iraq.

Good luck guys.
