| | |  Mark 77 bomb: Encyclopedia II - White phosphorus weapon - HistoryWP is believed to have been first used by Fenian arsonists in the 19th century in the form of a solution of WP in carbon disulfide. When the carbon disulfide evaporated, the WP would burst into flames, and probably also ignite the highly flammable carbon disulfide fumes. This mixture was known as "Fenian fire" and allegedly was also used by I.W.W. activists in the early 20th century.
Britain's army introduced its first factory-built WP grenades in late 1916. In World War II, white phosphorus mortar bombs, shells, rockets and grenades ...

| | | | Mark 77 bomb: Encyclopedia II - Operation Phantom Fury - Aftermath of the battle The city suffered extensive damage. Before the war, it was estimated that the city had 200 mosques. Some claim 60 of these had been destroyed in the fighting. Perhaps half the homes suffered at least some damage. About 7000 to 10000 of the roughly 50,000 buildings in the town are estimated to have been destroyed in the offensive ([3], [4]), and half to two-thirds of the buildings have suffered notable damage.
News reports indicate 71 Americans were killed in the fighting. Iraqi casualty figures are unreliable as an unknown number of r ...

| | | | Mark 77 bomb: Encyclopedia II - White phosphorus weapon - Arms control status Use of white phosphorus against military targets (outside civilian areas) is not specifically banned by any treaty. However, there is a debate on whether white phosphorus should be considered a chemical weapon and thus be outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) which went into effect in April of 1997. The Convention is meant to prohibit weapons that are "dependent on the use of the toxic properties of chemicals as a method of warfare" (Article II, Definitions, 9, "Purposes not Prohibited" c.). The Convention defines a "toxic chemic ...

White phosphorus weapon - Effects of exposure to WP weapons.
Incandescent particles of WP cast off by a WP weapon's initial explosion can produce extensive, deep (second and third degree), painful burns. Phosphorus burns carry a greater risk of mortality than other forms of burns due to the absorption of phosphorus into the body through the burned area, resulting in liver, heart and kidney damage, and in some cases multi-organ failure. [4] These weapons are particularly dangerous to exposed personnel because whit ...

| | | | Mark 77 bomb: Encyclopedia II - US occupation of Fallujah - 2003 Invasion of Iraq Fallujah was one of the most peaceful areas of the country just after the fall of Saddam because the majority of the residents were Sunni and supported Saddam's Rule. There was very little looting and the new mayor of the city — Taha Bidaywi Hamed, selected by local tribal leaders — was staunchly pro-American. When the U.S. Army entered the town in April 2003, they positioned themselves at the vacated Ba'ath Party headquarters — an action that erased some goodwill, especially when many in the city had been hoping the U.S. Army would st ...

| | | | Mark 77 bomb: Encyclopedia II - Operation Phantom Fury - Conduct of the battle Ground operations began on the night of November 7, 2004 with the Iraqi 36th Commando Battalion attacking from the west and south, capturing Fallujah General Hospital without firing a shot. Embedded journalists photographed doctors and patients who were made to lie on the hospital floor. The capture and closure of the hospital caused much controversy, concerning whether or not it was a contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
The same unit, operating under the command of the U.S. III Corps then moved on the western approaches to the city securing the Jurf Ka ...

Journalists embedded with US military units, although limited in what they may report in order to protect the troops, have reported the following:

White phosphorus weapon - Smoke-screening agent.
Weight-for-weight, phosphorus is the most effective smoke-screening agent known, for two reasons:
It absorbs most of the screening mass from the surrounding atmosphere; and
The smoke particles are actually an aerosol, a mist of liquid droplets which are close to the ideal range of sizes for Mie scattering of visible light. This effect has been likened to three dimensional textured privacy glass—the smoke cloud does not obstruct an image, but thoroughly ...
