الوصف

White phosphorus burns to the bone/nIt causes skin to melt away from the bone and can break down a victims jawbone, but white phosphorus - known in Vietnam as Willie Pete - is still used by sections of the worlds military./nSimilar to Napalm, the chemical substance is used in shells and grenades, igniting spontaneously at around 30C to produce an intense heat and thick pillars of smoke./nThese weapons are particularly nasty because white phosphorus continues to burn until it disappears. If service members are hit by pieces of white phosphorus, it could burn right down to the bone./nWhile the use of the material is not specifically banned, it is covered by Protocol III of the 1980 Convention on Conventional Weapons, which prohibits use of the substance as an incendiary weapon against civilian populations and in air attacks against military forces in civilian areas./nThough the UK and 80 other countries are signatories to protocol III, the United States is not.
