| The foreign minister might be embarrassed. This claim will be easy to check and the IAEA probably already has eliminated the possibility of the DU coming from Israel. Israel operates several attack helicopters which use DU ammunition. The Tzefa, (AH-1), Peten, and Saraph, (AH-64A and D respectively) Unless those aircraft operated from Iraq, they lack the range to fly a mission unless there were dangerous efforts made to refuel them. Moreover, the Depleted Uranium used in are `staballoys`, a small amount of other metals are used to stabilize the DU for ease of manufacture. The munitions for the 20mm and 30mm guns on US attack helicopters include 3.5 per cent Titanium. This will be easy to distinguished by analysis. |
