Depleted Uranium munitions - A weapon of mass destruction.
Filed March 30, 2003 by IraqJournal editors.
BAGHDAD-According to The Sunday Herald of Scotland, in an article dated March 30, 2003, "British and American coalition forces are using depleted uranium (DU) shells in the war against Iraq and deliberately flouting a United Nations resolution which classifies the munitions as illegal weapons of mass destruction." Depleted Uranium was also used extensively in the Gulf War of 1991 and in Serbia and Kosovo in 1999. In order to better understand this material and its effects on military personnel and civilians, we have assembled this list of links to information and resources:
