Iraq to sue US, Britain over depleted uranium bombs


-According to Iraqi military experts, the US and Britain bombed the country 
with nearly 2,000 tons of depleted uranium bombs during the early years of the 
Iraq war. 
Atomic radiation has increased the number of babies born with defects in the 
southern provinces of Iraq. 


Iraq's Ministry for Human Rights will file a lawsuit against Britain and the US 
over their use of depleted uranium bombs in Iraq, an Iraqi minister says. 

Iraq's Minister of Human Rights, Wijdan Mikhail Salim, told the Assabah 
newspaper that the lawsuit will be launched based on reports from the Iraqi 
ministries of science and the environment. 

According to the reports, during the first year of the US and British invasion 
of Iraq, both countries had repeatedly used bombs containing depleted uranium. 

According to Iraqi military experts, the US and Britain bombed the country with 
nearly 2,000 tons of depleted uranium bombs during the early years of the Iraq 
war. 

Atomic radiation has increased the number of babies born with defects in the 
southern provinces of Iraq. 

Iraqi doctors say they' have been struggling to cope with the rise in the 
number of cancer cases —especially in cities subjected to heavy U-S and British 
bombardment. 

The high rate of birth defects and cancer cases will move in the coming years 
to the central and northern provinces of Iraq since the radiation may penetrate 
the soil and water by air. 

The ministry will seek compensation for the victims of these bombs.
