At the Uranium Weapons Conference held October 2003 in Hamburg, Germany,

independent scientists from around the world testified to a huge increase in

birth deformities and cancers wherever NDU and DU had been used.

 

At a meeting of the International Criminal Tribunal for Afghanistan held

December 2003 in Tokyo, the U.S. was indicted for multiple war crimes in

Afghanistan, among them the use of DU.

 

Leuren Moret reports, " In my research on depleted uranium during the past 5

years, the most disturbing information concerns the impact on the unborn

children and future generations for both soldiers serving in the depleted

uranium

wars, and for the civilians who must live in the permanently radioactive

contaminated regions. Today, more than 240,000 Gulf War veterans are on

permanent medical disability and more than 11,000 are dead. They have been

denied

testing, medical care, and compensation for depleted uranium exposure and

related illnesses since 1991.

 

Moret continues " Even worse, they brought it home in their bodies. In some

families, the children born before the Gulf War are the only healthy members.

Wives and female partners of Gulf War veterans have reported a condition known

as burning semen syndrome, and are now internally contaminated from depleted

uranium carried in the semen of exposed veterans. Many are reporting

reproductive illnesses such as endometriosis. In a U.S. government study,

conducted

by the Department of Veterans Affairs on post-Gulf War babies, 67% were

found to have serious birth defects or serious illnesses. They were born

without

eyes (anophthalmos), ears, had missing organs, missing legs and arms, fused

fingers, thyroid or other organ malformations. "

Moret concludes, " In Iraq it is even worse where babies are born without

brains, organs are outside the body, or women give birth to pieces of flesh. In

babies born in Iraq in 2002, the incidence of anophthalmos was 250,000 times

greater (20 cases in 4,000 births) than the natural occurrence, one in 50

million births. Takashi MORIZUMI's photos: in _http://www.savewarchildren.org/_

(http://www.savewarchildren.org/) record the tragedy in Iraq. " .

Uranium is a chemically and radiologically toxic element, clinically proven

to be a cause of various types of cancer and congenital malformations (birth

defects). Internal contamination of uranium is responsible for variety of

systemic and organ system problems, which has never been considered or studied

by the Defense Department or Veterans health programs as possible cause of Gulf

War Illness. The symptoms of internal contamination by uranium in Iraq and

Afghanistan civilians are identical to the symptoms of US and Coalition

veterans complaining of Gulf War Illness.

The Pentagon/DoD have interfered with UMRC's ability to have its studies

published by managing, a progressive and persistent misinformation program in

the press against UMRC, and through the use of its control of science research

grants to refute UMRC's scientific findings and destroy the reputation of

UMRC's scientific staff, physicians and laboratories. UMRC is the first

independent research organization to find Depleted Uranium in the bodies of US,

UK and

Canadian Gulf War I veterans and has subsequently, following Operation Iraqi

Freedom, found Depleted Uranium in the water, soils and atmosphere of Iraq

as well as biological samples donated by Iraqi civilians.
