{UAH} For Museveni to answer: Use of dirty bombs in Acoi and Lango

According to the source, the injuries caused by these bombs have never been seen before in the 17 year old conflict. On the following dates and places, the UPDF aircraft dropped substances (not conventional bombs) which given the unique injury caused and the smell/odour left in the area, suggest of a possible chemical substance. The dates and places are listed below: -

1. 1st July 2002 - Labongo ogali, Amuru Sub-County, Gulu District.
2. 6th July 2002 - Alero Opok, Gulu District.
3. 12th July 2002 - Pamot Lukili, Lamwo County, Kitgum District.

Also of interest, is the number of UPDF soldiers who have died from a range of unusual illnesses at Lacor (military wing) hospital. One such UPDF soldier, an officer by the name of Okello, died from a condition, which pointed to exposure to high levels of radiation. Many others have since perished from conditions which medical experts suggests, relate to the "unusual" weaponry that the UPDF is deploying.

 

Ugandan newspapers also recently reported an incident in Gulu district whereby a child (boy) of two years was discovered to have developed genital features of a mature man. Observers believe this deformity is related to the war and in particular the side effect of the weaponry, which the UPDF may have used against the civilian population.

 

Whatever the case might be, many questions remain unanswered as to the exact nature of the kind of weaponry that the UPDF is using and the likely effect on the northern populace.
