[quote:d7536]The health of many Gulf War veterans may be at risk from metallic dust from their own ammunition, says a scientist.
Former US colonel Dr Asaf Durakovic, now a professor of medicine, has done extensive research into the Gulf War Syndrome.
He told the European Associations of Nuclear Medicine conference in Paris on Sunday that he had found a "significant presence" of depleted uranium (DU) in two-thirds of the 17 veterans he has tested. [/quote:d7536]

Some people say 11,000 troops have died as a result of exposure to DU in the first gulf war.
