( 2004-02-05 09:55) (Reuters)
Hoa (R) and Nhon, both born with stunted limbs
and 12 fingers, stand at their front door at their home in Dong Ha, north
of Hue in central Viet Nam, February 4, 2004. Three Vietnamese who say
they or their families became ill from Agent Orange defoliant used by the
United States in the war nearly 30 years ago have filed the first lawsuit
against makers of the product, a victims group said.
