You know that depleted uranium is used only in our Sabot-rounds for our tank guns.

782,414 DU rounds were fired during the 1991 war in Iraq, mostly by US forces.

Data shows that many of the DU rounds were fired in or near populated areas of Iraq, including As Samawah, Nasiriyah and Basrah. At least 1,500 rounds were also aimed at troops, the group says.

This conflicts with legal advice from the US Air Force in 1975 suggesting that DU weapons should only be used against hard targets like tanks and armoured vehicles.
