More than 10 people who worked at military factories which repair arms in Larisa and Velestino (Central Greece) have lost their lives the last few years from different forms of cancer and most oftenly from leukemia. Suspicions araise, while the possibility that arms and vehicles which are being repaired there might contained uranium or another ratioactive material, since they where used at the NATO war against Yugoslavia. Reports from workers from these factories shows that even today there are some different blood problems. The responsible authorities, as expected, support that all these information are not right and that there is no danger and no problem. What we would like to point out is that the workers which work in such an environment are anyway affected in someway, since in order to repair these kind of arms they use dangerous toxic materials. It is also important to state that until a few years ago, the tires of these arms and vehicles were burt, resulting into poluting the environment, and of course, the people close by. In addition, as it has be revealed (14/2) by the newspaper «Rizospastis» that 20 boxes with the sign of radiation which contain CO - 60 and CS - 137 where found a few days ago, accidentely by guards in Mantoudi, island of Eubea.
