Rainews24 presents the report:
" War Dust Uranium in Beirut"

by Flaviano Masella, Angelo Saso, Maurizio Torrealta

ENRICHED URANIUM HAS BEEN FOUND IN THE FUEL FILTER OF AN AMBULANCE IN BEIRUT
After the analysis on some samples on the crater of Khiam, the city in the south of Lebanon we spoke about in a previous report by 24, mew investigations reveal the presence of enriched uranium powders in Beirut .

This time, it is an analysis conducted on a fuel filter of an ambulance in the southern part of the city. The samples taken by two british researchers, Day Williams and Cris Busby, and analysed by two different British laboratories (among which the prestigious Harwell laboratory used by the British Ministry of Defense) have confirmed the presence of enriched uranium.

URANIUM HAS BEEN FOUND ALSO IN ONE OF THE ANALYSED URINE SAMPLES
The British researcher Day Wiliams has also taken in Beirut some urine samples from some people who worked in the area hit by bombings. One of these samples has shown the presence of uranium.

UNEP TOO FOUND URANIUM IN ALL THE SITES THAT WERE EXAMINED BUT THEY CONSIDERED THAT IT WAS NATURAL URANIUM
Also UNEP, the UN environmental Agency, has conducted some analysis on samples taken from the crater in Khiam and it found a concentration of uranium which was ten times higher than the normal concentration. UNEP has also analysed other 24 sites where it has found the presence of uranium, but it considered it was natural uranium.

BOTH IN THEIR MOST RADIOACTIVE FORM AND IN THEIR DEPLETED FORM URANIUM POWDERS ARE HIGHLY TOXIC
Dust of enriched , natural or depleted uranium are highly toxic if inhaled or ingested and the areas contaminated by this substance are at high risk. The areas affected are not far from the place where the Italian contingent was operating in the South of Lebanon. Rainews24 has collected the concerns of the Lebanese people who live in the affected areas, has found the ambulance which was contaminated, has interviewed the two British scientists who collected and brought the radioactive samples to the laboratories for the analysis, has interviewed the Lebenese scientist who launched the alarm on radioactivity in Khiam and has verified the status of the analysis conducted by Unep.
