LONDON - A new report on Gulf War (news - web sites) illness urges the British government to acknowledge that Gulf War syndrome is real and calls for compensation for veterans who became ill following service in the 1991 conflict.
The inquiry, led by retired senior judge Lord Lloyd of Berwick, was not commissioned by the government. The investigation was set up at the request of Lord Morris of Manchester, the parliamentary adviser to the Royal British Legion, after the Ministry of Defense refused an official inquiry.
The panel, which released its findings Wednesday, refused to disclose who funded the report, saying that the money was given for the project on condition that the source be kept secret.
