Title: MONSTRUOUS

Subtitle: Instead of a military base near Urosevac [in Kosovo], the
Americans have built a storage for radioactive waste
Excerpts: More than 150 tons of nuclear waste buried. KFOR soldiers
acquiring cancer, and the Marines [within the US contingent of KFOR] are
asking Bill Clinton to bring them back home.
The source of "SVEDOK" ["THE WITNESS", independent Serbian magazine]
testifies that the US troops have drilled big craters, and then "special
cargo" was poured into the craters. The cargo arrived from Tirana [the
Albanian capital], and,
once filled, the craters were cemented on the top. The whole affair has
been 'disguised' with the temporary military barracks, hangars and storage
depots and the like. Once all the cargo in containers was
poured into the Kosovo swamps, all of a sudden the US troops stopped
further construction of their "Bondstill" (sp?) military base.
[Recall that] NATO [also] used the ammunition containing depleted uranium
against the Bosnian
Serbs [back in 1995]. Some 30 tons of 30-millimeter projectiles were fired
back then. After that, over 4,500 residents of [Sarajevo suburb] Hadzici
were resettled in the town of Bratunac [in eastern Bosnia; Hadzici were
given to the Croat-Muslim Federation at Dayton]. The (former) residents of
Hadzici were particularly exposed to DU. Consequences: some 250 of the
natives of Hadzici have already died and are buried at the Bratunac
cemetery. Most of these people were young people, who died 'suddenly' and
from an 'unknown disease'.

The submarines of the US Navy brought dozens of containers to the Albanian
port of Semani (sp?). The operation was carried out quickly and quietly,
and the secret was the actual content of these containers.
The "special cargo" was then delivered to Tirana with the US cargo
helicopters, and was then kept until September 3, according to the
"SVEDOK" source. The final destination was [allegedly] Kosovo. So, the
containers were subsequently transported from Tirana to Kosovo, to an
undisclosed location about 35 kilometers (22 miles) south of Pristina.
The convoy of containers was accompanied by a sizable security personnel.
At about the same time, the US troops presumably started building a major
military base in vicinity of Urosevac. This powerful military base, named
"Bondstill", was considered to be an American response to the prior
Russian challenge in Kosovo, namely the sudden and unexpected takeover of
the Slatina [military] airport. Thus the US military camp near Urosevac
soon became a major construction site.
It turned out, however, that what the Americans were building near
Urosevac was not any old military base. The source of the
"SVEDOK" newspaper testifies that the US troops have
drilled big craters, and then "special cargo" was poured into the
craters. The cargo arrived from Tirana [the Albanian capital], and,
once filled, the craters were cemented on the top. The whole affair has
been 'disguised' with the temporary military barracks, hangars and storage
depots and the like. Once all the cargo in containers was
poured into the Kosovo swamps, all of a sudden the US troops stopped
further construction of their "Bondstill" (sp?) military base.
As if they "forgot" that Bondstill was originally meant to be the largest
US military base in the Balkans.
The official Washington kept the whole nuclear waste affair secret, and
did not even notify its European allies of it. For that reason, nobody
other than the Americans was allowed anywhere near Bondstill - not even
the KFOR troops that are from other NATO nations.
However, the [alleged] true purpose of the Bondstill base was soon
uncovered. Ant this true purpose certainly was not simply to build a fancy
(and costly) military base relatively close to [the Kosovo capital]
Pristina. Instead, Kosovo turned out to be a convenient location for
(meant to be secretful) deposit of the US nuclear waste.
"Svedok" has learned that at least 150 tons of (US-produced) nuclear
waste. The Pentagon's expenses for this operation were estimated around
US$ 70 million. Thus an already dire ecological situation in Kosovo has
been made even worse. Namely, NATO already admitted to have fired some
10,000 30-millimeter projectiles containing depleted uranium. These DU
projectiles were fired by the A-10A "Thunderbold" combat aircraft. This
corresponds to about 30 tons of depleted uranium throughout Kosovo.
The radioactive waste [in the form of DU] is causing cancer and very
harmful for the civilian population as well as the soldiers exposed to
it. It is believed that it is DU that is behind the so-called "Gulf
Syndrome". Unfortunately, Kosovo is not the first " testing ground" for
DU, and where [in addition to the local civilian population] the American
soldiers were used as the "experimental rabbits" by their own government
and the US military-industrial complex. During the Gulf War, the US
military fired some
