La preuve la plus importante du danger de la poussière d’uranium ne vient pas de Serbie. Elle vient des États-Unis : des essais de leur armée de l’air, des mémorandums de leur armée de terre, de leurs propres tribunaux et de leurs propres anciens combattants. Srđan Aleksić sur ce que l’Amérique savait des effets de l’uranium appauvri sur la santé, et sur la place de ce savoir dans chaque salle d’audience.
Un officier de l’armée serbe a patrouillé les pentes de Pljačkovica, au-dessus de Vranje, en 2000 et 2001, quelques mois après que l’OTAN eut frappé la colline à l’uranium appauvri. Dix-huit ans plus tard, les médecins ont découvert un léiomyosarcome. Son affaire est devenue la première plainte individuelle contre l’OTAN en Serbie. Legal Smart a lu le dossier.
Un contrat de l’armée américaine pour détruire des munitions à l’uranium appauvri expire dans dix jours. Entre-temps, les avions d’attaque A-10, qui ont tiré l’essentiel de l’uranium en Irak et dans les Balkans, ont volé en mission dans la guerre contre l’Iran. Le Pentagone n’a pas dit ce que contenaient leurs canons.
Le service de sécurité ukrainien (SBU) affirme que des drones russes Geran-2 portent des missiles R-60 à ogive d’uranium, et que les débris émettent jusqu’à 80 fois le niveau autorisé. Legal Smart a suivi les dossiers de Tchernihiv et Soumy jusqu’à une colline au-dessus de 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.
