Category Education – 2007
In 1991, Professor Siegwart Horst Günther came across an unusually large number of deformed babies in Iraq and clinical pictures such as he had never seen before in this region: Günther suspected that tanks shot down with uranium ammunition were the main cause. He had a projectile picked up in the desert sand spectrographically examined in Berlin in 1992, which confirmed his suspicion.
