How would one prove this after the fact? Depleted uranium was so used so heavily in Iraq that traces of radiation are all over, greatly affecting the birth rate and infant deaths; plenty of statistics from Iraqi officials on that here:

Idk i am reading this atm..... on Afganistan
"some form of uranium weapon had been used (...) The results were astounding: the donors presented concentrations of toxic and radioactive uranium isotopes between 100 and 400 times greater than in the Gulf War veterans tested in 1999." www.umrc.net
The results also confirmed that the toxic radiation was not attributable to ‘heavy metal' depleted uranium ammunition (DU), but to another unidentified form of uranium contamination

Can you link your sources to support the DU argument. I would like to read up on it to see if its been changed.

What argument? That DU is poison or that it is being used in the middle east?

Afghans' uranium levels spark alert By Alex Kirby BBC News Online environment correspondent A small sample of Afghan civilians have shown "astonishing" levels of uranium in their urine, an independent scientist says.
Other researchers suggest new types of radioactive weapons may have been used in Afghanistan. The scientist is Dr Asaf Durakovic, of the Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC), based in Canada. Dr Durakovic, a former US army adviser who is now a professor of medicine, said in 2000 he had found "significant" DU levels in two-thirds of the 17 Gulf veterans he had tested.

The UMRC says: "Independent monitoring of the weapon types and delivery systems indicate that radioactive, toxic uranium alloys and hard-target uranium warheads were being used by the coalition forces." There is no official support for its claims, or backing from other scientists.

Well, if you have a thousand tons of depleted uranium in a close area it would resemble a nuke.
It says: "Without exception, every person donating urine specimens tested positive for uranium internal contamination. "The results were astounding: the donors presented concentrations of toxic and radioactive uranium isotopes between 100 and 400 times greater than in the Gulf veterans tested in 1999.
"If UMRC's Nangarhar findings are corroborated in other communities across Afghanistan, the country faces a severe public health disaster... Every subsequent generation is at risk."

We will see I guess.

Is it not a plausible theory that the weapons used have never been seen before or the knowledge of, has been kept in complete secrecy?
Everybody seems to be scratching their heads on it, think of the billions of dollars poured in to military research and what modern technology is capable of.
