There’s a suspicion that armor-piercing, radioactive weapons are being deployed by foreign forces on Libya.

The U.S. says ‘it’s not aware’ depleted uranium’s being used, while the UK is flatly denying it. Political observer Christoph Hoerstel said NATO’s chief members have a habit of using uranium weapons – and it’s likely Libya’s in line.

Naming it as a dirty habit, Mr. Hoerstel said that the U.S. used the uranium weapons in Iraq, Balkans and Afghanistan. “Unfortunately Libya is not an exception. If this happens, it will be impossible to keep the Libyan population out of sufferings. Uranium bombs mean that the genetic code in the people is broken. The nano-particles will give birth to mutilated children,” he said.
