MEMRI: Iraqi Citizens Accidentally Stole Uranium Containers and Used Them to Store Food, Then Dumped Them in the River
by Elonka at 2:48 pm EDT, May 1, 2003

] "When order was disrupted, simple citizens -- sorry
] to say -- did not have containers to store drinking
] water, so they stole those barrels, each one containing
] 400 kilos of radioactive uranium. Some of them dumped the
] powder on the ground in very large quantities, and others
] took the contaminated barrels to their homes, and the
] barrels appeared in various areas. They stored water in
] them, and had every intention of drinking from them or
] [using] the barrels to sell milk."
]
] "I visited some homes and measured radioactivity; I saw
] with my own eyes in one of the homes a contaminated
] barrel used to store tomatoes for eating. In other
] barrels they stored cooking utensils and other household
] utensils for everyday use, not knowing that some of them
] were contaminated. When they realized that these
] components were radioactive, they dumped some of them in
] the river or the sewer system. We found radioactive
] materials in homes, in beds, and in clothing. I saw a
] ten-year old girl, who had a yellow cake [disc] hanging
] from the button of her shirt."
