Hintergrund

Amerika wusste, was Uranstaub anrichtet

Die wichtigsten Belege für die Gefährlichkeit von Uranstaub stammen nicht aus Serbien. Sie stammen aus den Vereinigten Staaten: aus den Tests ihrer Luftwaffe, den Memoranden ihrer Armee, von ihren eigenen Gerichten und ihren eigenen Veteranen. Srđan Aleksić darüber, was Amerika über die gesundheitlichen Folgen von abgereichertem Uran wusste und warum dieses Wissen in jeden Gerichtssaal gehört.

Kann man die NATO wegen Krebs durch abgereichertes Uran verklagen?

Ein serbischer Offizier patrouillierte 2000 und 2001 an den Hängen der Pljačkovica über Vranje, Monate nachdem die NATO den Hügel mit abgereichertem Uran beschossen hatte. Achtzehn Jahre später fanden Ärzte ein Leiomyosarkom. Sein Fall wurde die erste Einzelklage gegen die NATO in Serbien. Legal Smart hat die Akte gelesen.

Haben die USA abgereichertes Uran auf den Iran verschossen?

Ein Vertrag der US-Armee zur Vernichtung von Munition mit abgereichertem Uran läuft in zehn Tagen aus. Unterdessen flogen A-10-Erdkampfflugzeuge, die den Großteil des Urans im Irak und auf dem Balkan verschossen haben, Einsätze im Iran-Krieg. Das Pentagon hat nicht gesagt, was in ihren Kanonen war.

Tragen russische Drohnen Uran?

Der ukrainische Geheimdienst SBU sagt, russische Geran-2-Drohnen tragen R-60-Raketen mit Uran-Sprengköpfen; Trümmer strahlen bis zum 80-Fachen des Zulässigen. Legal Smart ist den Akten von Tschernihiw und Sumy gefolgt, bis zu einem Hügel über Vranje im Jahr 1999.

Can depleted uranium damage DNA?

In 1998 a US military laboratory turned healthy human bone cells cancerous with depleted uranium. The World Health Organization's cancer agency classifies internally deposited alpha emitters as carcinogenic to humans. And a Serbian book claims the genetic changes seen after 1999 are ten times more frequent than previously known. Legal Smart separates what is proven, what is claimed, and what nobody has measured.

Was depleted uranium used in Bosnia?

Before Kosovo, there was Bosnia. In 1994 and 1995 NATO fired about 10,000 depleted uranium rounds at targets around Sarajevo and in Republika Srpska. In 2003 the UN found the first recorded case of uranium in drinking water, airborne uranium inside buildings still in use, and penetrators corroding into the soil. Legal Smart went back to the forgotten file of Hadžići and Han Pijesak.

Where was depleted uranium used in Serbia and Kosovo?

NATO admitted firing 31,000 depleted uranium rounds and listed 112 sites. Serbian experts say they found a 113th. Five sites were cleaned; 107 in Kosovo were never touched. Villages in southern Serbia emptied. Legal Smart reconstructed the map from the record, and found how much of it is still blank.

Did AI cause the Minab school strike?

In 1999 a US bomb destroyed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade because a database still showed the building as something else. In 2026 a US missile hit a girls' school in Minab, Iran, reportedly because intelligence maps had not caught up with what the building had become. The difference: this time an AI system was building the target lists. Legal Smart compared the two records.

Is there a vaccine for the 2026 Ebola outbreak?

More than 10,500 confirmed cases and 5,100 deaths in Congo. A global health emergency since May. And a virus, Bundibugyo, for which there is no licensed vaccine, no approved treatment and no specific rapid test. How the world prepared for the wrong Ebola, and the race to see whether the old vaccine can stop the new one.

Is bird flu spreading in people in the US?

A Yakima County resident exposed to infected cattle has died of H5N1, the third US bird flu death since 2024. Washington now has 40 infected dairy herds. But the one number that tells you whether the virus is spreading quietly among the people who milk the cows has not been published. Legal Smart looked for it.

Can Uranium Rewrite Your DNA? What the Lab Studies Found, and What a Serbian Book Claims About the Children of 1999

In 1998 a US military laboratory turned healthy human bone cells cancerous with depleted uranium. The World Health Organization's cancer agency classifies internally deposited alpha emitters as carcinogenic to humans. And a Serbian book claims the genetic changes seen after 1999 are ten times more frequent than previously known. Legal Smart separates what is proven, what is claimed, and what nobody has measured.

The Uranium Buried Near Sarajevo Was Expected to Dissolve Within 35 Years. That Clock Is Almost Up

Before Kosovo, there was Bosnia. In 1994 and 1995 NATO fired about 10,000 depleted uranium rounds at targets around Sarajevo and in Republika Srpska. In 2003 the UN found the first recorded case of uranium in drinking water, airborne uranium inside buildings still in use, and penetrators corroding into the soil.

The Map Was Wrong. Again. From the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade to Iran’s Minab School, War’s Deadliest Errors Begin in a Database

In 1999 a US bomb destroyed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade because a database still showed the building as something else. In 2026 a US missile hit a girls' school in Minab, Iran, reportedly because intelligence maps had not caught up with what the building had become. The difference: this time an AI system was building the target lists. Legal Smart compared the two records.
