Didn't they claim the same duritg the Gulf war, and it turnjd out not to be true?
propagandists love to recycle https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1994/02/26/the-kuwaiti-incubator-hoax/35b1e882-f796-4acb-a106-9280a7dda521/

The claim then was even less believable as it was republican guard were dumping babies from incubators.
I can’t remember if there was actually a pinch of truth to this claim but was spun in such terrible faith. From memory I believe what happens is when a fetus is aborted for what ever reason such as a termination or a threat to the mothers life, the fetus has to go somewhere. It’s a logical thing to incinerate the dead we do it all the time and same goes for fetus’s. I’m unsure if the mothers have the option to bury or cremate or if in a hospital setting it’s called incineration. I just reread you’re last word and may have got your subject wrong now I see incubators.
It turned out to have no basis in reality - the person telling the story turned out to be the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US or something like that.
