French court throws out a lawsuit brought by a French-Vietnamese woman against more than a dozen multinationals that produced and sold toxic herbicide Agent Orange, used by U.S. troops during the war in Vietnam.

"I lost one child due to heart defects. I have two other daughters who were born with malformations. And my grandchildren, too," said Tran To Nga as she delivered a speech during a gathering in support of people exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War in Paris in January.

The former journalist has described in a book how she breathed some Agent Orange in 1966, when she was a member of the Vietnamese Communists, or Viet Cong, that fought against South Vietnam and the United States. U.S. forces used Agent Orange to defoliate Vietnamese jungles and to destroy Viet Cong crops during the war.
