- Gelber Regen (englisch Yellow Rain) ist ein Begriff, der sich auf eine von der UdSSR und der Vietnamesischen Volksarmee angeblich im Vietnamkrieg und im Zweiten Laotischen Bürgerkrieg (1963–73) eingesetzte chemische Waffe bezieht. Es soll sich dabei um Mykotoxine, unter anderem T-2-Toxin, gehandelt haben.Sowjetische Transportflugzeuge und Hubschrauber sollen Gifte als „gelben Regen“ versprüht haben, um US-amerikanische und südvietnamesische Soldaten zu töten. Gezielt sollen auch Angehörige des Hmong-Volkes angegriffen worden sein, um sie für ihre Kooperation mit den Amerikanern zu bestrafen.Der Einsatz derartiger Gifte wäre ein klarer Verstoß gegen das Genfer Protokoll von 1925 und wider die Biowaffenkonvention von 1972. Diese Vorwürfe konnten – nach dem Besuch einer Expertengruppe im Jahr 1987 – nicht bewiesen werden. (de)
- Yellow rain was a 1981 political incident in which the United States Secretary of State Alexander Haig accused the Soviet Union of supplying T-2 mycotoxin to the Communist states in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia for use in counterinsurgency warfare. Refugees described many different forms of "attacks", including a sticky yellow liquid falling from planes or helicopters, which was dubbed "yellow rain". The U.S. government alleged that over ten thousand people had been killed in attacks using these supposed chemical weapons. The Soviets denied these claims and an initial United Nations investigation was inconclusive. Samples of the supposed chemical agent that were supplied to a group of independent scientists turned out to be honeybee feces, suggesting that the "yellow rain" was due to mass defecation of digested pollen grains from large swarms of bees. Although the scientific evidence conclusively showed that yellow rain was not a Soviet chemical or biological weapon, the U.S. government has not retracted its allegations, arguing that the issue has not been fully resolved. Many of the U.S. documents relating to this incident remain classified. (en)
