The Song of the Week is slowly becoming the Songs of the Year...
Depleted Uranium is used in anti-armour ammunition - "a waste product of the nuclear industry which burns on impact and releases toxic and radioactive material when it explodes" and was used by "A-10 "tankbuster" aircraft for more than a month in at least 40 locations in Kosovo, many of them "fake" military targets set up by the Serbs to lure pilots away from their tanks and artillery positions". A-10 aircraft also used DU ammunition in the two accidental attacks against Kosovo Albanian refugees.
At first the US denied using Depleted Uranium. Now they say "that their A-10s used DU and fired the ammunition whenever they came across Serb armour. They said that because these were 'targets of opportunity', they kept no record of the location or dates of firing...
And if that's not enough of a turn around,the KFOR forces have only found the remains of "13 Serb tanks in Kosovo" - precisely the same figure for destroyed tanks given by the Serbs after the war and 83 tanks fewer than General Wesley Clark, the supreme Nato commander, claimed his aircraft had destroyed.
But they could say anything they wanted at the time... it's called propaganda.
