UNITED KINGDOM: GULF WAR VETERANS AND IRAQIS TAKE BRITISH AND US GOVERNMENTS TO COURT OVER DEPLETED URANIUM WEAPONS

Despite official denials by NATO that Uranium had been used in the Gulf War against Iraq, the symptoms suffered by thousand of NATO troops led to enquiries which now point to a frightening fact: depleted uranium was used in the NATO campaign against Iraq, creating horrific physical disorders among NATO troops and innocent Iraqi civilians in the 1991 conflict. The legal action against the British and American governments will be launched in America by hundreds of ex-NATO troops seriously ill with radiation sickness, together with Iraqi civilians caught up in the conflict. It should be remembered that the Portuguese troops stationed in Kosovo complained recently that they had been positioned in an area bombarded by NATO with depleted uranium weapons, making large parts of Kosovo radioactive. This practice of bombarding countries with toxic radioactive substances is illegal, criminal, immoral and totally unacceptable in today’s world. NATO has a lot of explaining to do.
