Afghans’ uranium levels spark alert

“A small sample of Afghan civilians have shown ‘astonishing’ levels of uranium in their urine, an independent scientist says.” (BBC) Although they have similar symptoms to veterans of the 1991 Gulf War, the Canadian scientist found no traces of the depleted uranium many implicate in Gulf War Syndrome. Speculation arises that the US may be using a different form of uranium weapon in Afghanistan. //newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39253000/jpg/_39253921_bombb_203_ap.jpg' cannot be displayed]
