Dirty Bullet Fallout Confirmed In Iraq
So the US/UK’s use of radiological “dirty bullets” of depleted uranium has indeed produced significant confirmed uranium contamination of humans within Iraq. I am unsurprised, especially after the Pentagon specifically barred UN radiation pollution inspectors from surveying Iraq.
Recently completed laboratory analyses show two members of Uranium Medical Research Centre?s (UMRC) field investigation team are contaminated with Depleted Uranium (DU). The two field staff, one from Canada and the other, Beirut, toured Iraq for thirteen days in October 2003; five months after the cessation of Operation Iraqi Freedom?s aerial bombing and ground force campaign … The conditions responsible for the team?s DU contamination are considered to be inhalation of resuspended ultra-fine soil and dust particles saturated with uranium and airborne uranium oxides and metallic particulate. Uranium was used in anti-tank penetrators, suppression ordnance and bunker-defeat warheads deployed during the 26 days of Operation Iraqi Freedom by both US and UK forces … The MOD stated unequivocally that battlefield uranium residues remain stable inside defeated Iraqi tanks and cannot be made biologically available to humans. Since then, the MOD has found unusually high concentrations of uranium excreted in the urine of its 1st Armoured Division troops who served in Basra.
