Poisoned?

Shocking report on troops Inside filthy camp where trouble began

Soldiers demand to know health risks

By JUAN GONZALEZ
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER


Four soldiers from a New York Army National Guard company serving in
Iraq are contaminated with radiation likely caused by dust from
depleted uranium shells fired by U.S. troops, a Daily News
investigation has found.

They are among several members of the same company, the 442nd Military
Police, who say they have been battling persistent physical ailments
that began last summer in the Iraqi town of Samawah.

"I got sick instantly in June," said Staff Sgt. Ray Ramos, a Brooklyn
housing cop.

"My health kept going downhill with daily headaches, constant numbness
in my hands and rashes on my stomach."

A nuclear medicine expert who examined and tested nine soldiers from
the company says that four "almost certainly" inhaled radioactive dust
from exploded American shells manufactured with depleted uranium.
