While the bombing of Afghanistan continues the impacts of the ongoing war in that country will likely be felt for years to come - speculation is rising that Depleted Uranium Weapons were very likely used in Afghanistan.

Shells loaded with Depleted Uranium are the choice of the US and British military because of their armor piercing capability. On impact they leave tiny particles of radioactive dust that settles in the environment and becomes a long lasting hazard the ecosystem and human health. FSRN's Charles Michael Ray has this story on the use of Depleted Uranium Weapons and what activists, and scientists are saying about the impact of their use in Yugoslavia, Iraq and possibly Afghanistan.
