    the allegation that this same evidence of enriched uranium has been found in kosovo and fallujah, rather than buttressing this argument, makes it very suspect.

    scenario a) Israel is using janky, badly depleted uranium or some secret neutron bombs---somewhat believable

    scenario b) the US & Israel have been using novel nuclear weaponry in multiple wars for over 20 years without bragging, disclosing, leaking, or any other scientists bringing attention to it. in a world where DU munitions are known and quite passively acquiesced by nuclear safety/proliferation agencies, why would similarly low-scale devices imagined by this investigation need to be secret?

    i'm more amenable to this indicating a misinterpretation of evidence of DU weaponry or even under-studied effects of extreme bomb saturation & destruction in modern urban areas. I assume "natural" measurements for amounts of background uranium were not taken in places where the soil & buildings are turned out and blasted into the air very often
