Depleted uranium bullets and asbestos pose potential threats to Japanese troops dispatched to Samawa, southern Iraq, a Dutch Parliament report obtained by the Mainichi Shimbun has suggested.

The report on Dutch troops' activities in Samawa is likely to prompt Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) personnel deployed in the area to take measures to protect themselves from such threats.

It cited depleted uranium bullets left in Samawa and its vicinity and cancer-causing asbestos used in buildings as potential threats to the health of Dutch soldiers. The report also warned of possible skin diseases and enteritis as well as heatstroke.

The report also stated that Dutch troops and U.S. forces jointly cracked down on dealers of illicit weapons in a bid to ensure security in the area.

1. The regime has decreed that depleted uranium is safe

Japan must do whatever is necessary to put a stop to anti-American conspiracy theories in their news media, or the US will have to reconsider whether Japan should be allowed to have news media.
