U.S. Trucks Carrying Radioactive Materials Intercepted In Iraq-Kuwait Border
TEHRAN (MNA) -– The UAE-based daily Al-Khaleej reported on Monday that Kuwaiti tariff officials have intercepted a truck loaded with radioactive materials in the Iraq-Kuwait border.
The daily quoted informed sources as saying that the radioactive control team from Kuwait’s Health Ministry discovered that one of the trucks belonging to the U.S.-led coalition forces was carrying heavy radioactive materials trucks. The trucks were headed for Iraq.
The daily said that such materials could only enter a country when there is permission from related bodies while the materials were secretly being carried to Iraq.
Security forces stressed that no contamination had been caused by the material.
The MNA reported for the first time the coalition forces’ suspicious transfer of WMD parts from Kuwait to Southern Iraq by trucks.
The possible presence of WMD in Iraq and its likely nuclear programs were the main U.S. pretext for attacking the country.
However, their failure to find weapons of mass destruction in the country and the continuing turmoil in Iraq questioned the legitimacy of the U.S. war against Iraq and their presence in the country.

Well, anyway, You can find the same news at http://www.kuwaittimes.net/ go to the Sunday Archive and DL Page-1. Kuwait is an American ally, and the Times part make it sound more appealling to some, I hope it is good enough 4U
This are bad news... What's going on?!
can anyone tell me why depeleted uranium is on its way to Iraq and what they are going to do with it once in Iraq?
Posted by: allen at June 16, 2004 06:05 PMMaybe the idea was to just plant them in Iraq so that they can then say "see...look what we've found!", just prior to elections!
Mance, don't have a stroke! Breathe deeply

Dear God... Usually I don't comment on the liberal idiocy that I find in this blog, but this is too much. If any of you moronic liberals knew half a damn thing about the military, you would know why we are taking DU into Iraq: an Abrams tank uses DU in its fucking AMMUNITION. We are taking it into Iraq because we are RESUPPLYING OUR OWN TROOPS. Jesus Christ, people...
So yeah, Jay, not everyone is as dumb as Bush - there are people (like you) who are a damn sight stupider than he is. Dipshit.

Posted by: joshua gillogly at July 2, 2004 07:34 AMThe comment about bringing DU to the troops is ridiculous. DU is used in manufacturing plants exclusively. It is wholly useless to military forces in its raw form. The DU is included in the manufacturing of the steel used to make weapons.
