La prueba más importante del peligro del polvo de uranio no procede de Serbia. Procede de Estados Unidos: de los ensayos de su Fuerza Aérea, de los memorandos de su Ejército, de sus propios tribunales y de sus propios veteranos. Srđan Aleksić sobre lo que Estados Unidos sabía de los efectos del uranio empobrecido en la salud y sobre por qué ese conocimiento debe estar en todas las salas de justicia.
Un oficial del ejército serbio patrulló las laderas de Pljačkovica, sobre Vranje, en 2000 y 2001, meses después de que la OTAN atacara la colina con uranio empobrecido. Dieciocho años más tarde los médicos hallaron un leiomiosarcoma. Su caso se convirtió en la primera demanda individual contra la OTAN en Serbia. Legal Smart leyó el expediente.
Un contrato del Ejército de EE. UU. para destruir munición de uranio empobrecido vence en diez días. Mientras tanto, los aviones de ataque A-10, que dispararon la mayor parte del uranio en Irak y los Balcanes, han volado en misiones de combate en la guerra con Irán. El Pentágono no ha dicho qué llevaban sus cañones.
El servicio de seguridad de Ucrania (SBU) afirma que los drones rusos Geran-2 llevan misiles R-60 con ojivas de uranio, y que los fragmentos emiten hasta 80 veces el nivel permitido. Legal Smart siguió los expedientes de Chernígov y Sumy hasta una colina sobre Vranje en 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
