Radioactive killer (possible Iraq WMD site)

Since I can't post something from a web log as news, It goes here, but isn't a highly radioactive site near Mosul interesting, given the search for WMD in Iraq?

Mosel was mentioned in one of jveritas' recent translations.

Between this and the article the other day that the IAEA is concerned that 1,000+ people could be suffering from nuclear poisoning, I'd say the left have got to be sweating just a tad.

Thanks for the pings on this matter and keeping all of us up to speed.

That's not possible!

There are no WMDs or their ingredients in Iraq, remember?

They're not sweating because they are not listening. ... If I keep my hands over my ears, my eyes shut and repeat gibberish really loudly, maybe there won't be any WMDs!

Is "Mosel" the same as "Mosul" or is that another place altogether? I ask because we've known about the underground city at Tuwaitha or al Qaim for a long time, since we first got there in fact. Some links on that site are here.

I'd say you're exactly right Peach. The left and the MSM are not going to be able to keep a lid on this.

Thanks for the ping eyespy

You know, that's a good question. I just googled the names but can't tell if they are one and the same or not.

This would only be true if Clinton were President and had invaded Iraq. Since Bush did it, it's a plant.

I think they are on the same place. Mosel doesn't appear on any maps I can find, yet Mosul is on the map near the Tigris River and I've read a reference to Mosel that says it is near the Tigris.

Ray Robison's blog and the Gwynne Roberts' story are the leads I would most like to follow.

Any corroboration would be very interesting. Apparently radioactive bodies in graves are not that uncommon in Iraq.

Found these in my files from last November. Would these be related to this report?

Progress Made on Iraqi Uranium

Experts from the UN atomic agency have accounted for tons of uranium feared looted from Iraq's largest nuclear research facility, diplomats said Friday.

Experts from the UN atomic agency have accounted for tons of uranium feared looted from Iraq's largest nuclear research facility, diplomats said Friday.

The natural and low-enriched uranium was secured at the Tuwaitha facility, 12 miles south of Baghdad, the diplomats said on condition of anonymity. Tuwaitha was left unguarded after Iraqi troops fled the area on the eve of the war.

U.S. troops didn't secure the area until April 7. In the meantime, looters from the surrounding villages stripped it of uranium storage barrels they later used to hold drinking water.

Greenpeace Says "Frightening" Radioactivity in Iraqi Villages

TUWAITHA, Iraq - Environmental group Greenpeace called on the US-led coalition governing Iraq to clean up villages surrounding a nuclear site outside Baghdad that have been contaminated by "frightening levels" of radioactive material.

Carrying Arabic and English banners that read "Al-Tuwaitha - nuclear disaster. Act now!", Greenpeace activists returned a large uranium "yellowcake" mixing canister to US troops stationed inside the nuclear plant, 20 kilometres (12 miles) east of the capital.

The canister -- the size of a small car -- contained significant quantities of radioactive yellowcake and had been left open and unattended for more than 20 days on a busy section of open ground near the Tuwaitha plant, Greenpeace said Tuesday.

"No one cares about us. We are dying slowly. Our whole neighborhood is contaminated. Although Greenpeace came, it is too late," said Tareq al-Obeidi, a 41-year-old Tuwaitha city council member.

Greenpeace activist William Peden of Scotland tries to convince a US soldier of the 1st Armored Division to accept back a canister (behind) containing 'yellow cake' or Uranium Oxide which was looted during the war from the nuclear facility in Tuwaitha, 50 kilometers south of Baghdad, Tuesday, June 24, 2003. The canister was found by the environmentalist group Greenpeace in the village near the facility and allegedly is contaminated. Following the fall of Saddam Hussein, residents living near the complex reportedly took barrels of nuclear materials known as 'yellow cake' and other containers for use to store food and water and unaware that the barrels were radioactive and toxic. The canister was eventually brought into the facility.

I doubt this is the same site ... Mosul is well north of Baghdad.

That sure sounds like the same area and activity.

Thanks for the links.

Can't be - no yellowcake - ask JOe Wilson
