Mysterious Diseases Haunt U.S. Troops In Iraq

NATO experts attribute the mysterious symptoms suffered by U.S. soldiers to

the use of depleted uranium

 

BAGHDAD, July 17 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – Several mysterious

diseases were reported among a number of American troops within the vicinity

of Baghdad airport, a military source closely close to NATO unveiled.

 

U.S. soldiers deployed around Baghdad airport started showing symptoms of

mysterious fever, itching, scars and dark brown spots on the skin, the

source, who refused to be named, said in statements published Thursday, July

17, by the Saudi Al-Watan newspaper.

 

He asserted that three soldiers who suffered these symptoms did not respond

to medical treatment in Iraqi hospitals and were flown to Washington for

medication.

 

The military source reported a media blackout by U.S. officials to hide such

information from the public.

 

The Americans claim the symptoms and the mysterious diseases were resulting

from exposure to the scourging sun, which the U.S. troops are not used to,

he added.

 

U.S. officials did not come up with an explanation for the symptoms, which

NATO experts tend to believe result from direct exposure to powerful nuclear

radiations of the sophisticated B-2 bombs used in the war on Iraq,

particularly in striking Iraqi Republican Guards forces who deployed to

defend the vicinity of Baghdad airport.

 

The military source stressed that the shrouds of secrecy imposed by American

officials on the issue were prompted by fears of creating waves of panic and

anger among the troops, particularly after announcements that American

troops would remain in Iraq indefinitely.

 

He asserted that NATO experts measured levels of radioactive pollution in

Iraq and confirmed there were levels of radioactive pollution with

destructive impacts on man and environment that may lead to risks suffered

by generations to come.

 

On April 25, the British Observer quoted military sources as affirming that

depleted uranium shells and bombs used by U.S. and British troops during

Iraq invasion were five times more than the number used during 1991 Gulf

war.

 

The Pentagon had admitted shelling Iraq with about 350 tons of depleted

uranium in 1991, aggravating cancerous tumors cases among Iraqis.
