Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ‘Up to 15 tons of depleted uranium used in 1999 Serbia bombing’ – lead lawyer in suit against NATO An international legal team is preparing a lawsuit against NATO over the alliance’s alleged use of depleted uranium munitions during its bombing of Yugoslavia.
These have allegedly caused a rise in cancer-related illnesses across the region over the years.
"The NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 used between 10 and 15 tons of depleted uranium, which caused a major environmental disaster," said Srdjan Aleksic, a Serbian lawyer who leads the legal team, which includes lawyers from the EU, Russia, China and India.
"In Serbia, 33,000 people fall sick because of this every year. That is one child every day," he claimed.
NATO's press office says it's now aware of Serbia's allegations, but gave no further comment.More: [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] |
