Not only is the Pentagon covering up the full extent of American
deaths and casualties in the Oct 10th Camp Falcon attack but it
appears that the Pentagon never mentioned the explosion of Depleted
Uranium Munitions ( DU ) which were obviously stored at the Falcon
Base arsenal.
It is common knowledge that atleast two dozen weapon systems use
depleted uranium on their heads, such as bunker busters, because of
their penetration ability.
So the Pentagon must answer as to the full count of casualties at
Camp Falcon and are they counting deaths, either directly or
indirectly, by Mortar fire as combat deaths ~ because if they are
not, as I suspect ~ the true count of combat deaths in Iraq is
closer to 12,000 not the almost 3,000 now reported.
And what about the radiation poisoning from the uranium munitions
exploding and burning ~ Is Baghdad or even other countries
currently at risk from this catastrophe?
Here is the most informative research on the Camp Falcon attack, by
Sarah Meyer, with an excellent analysis of the tactical nuke
explosions by depleted uranium (DU) researcher Dai Williams.

CAMP FALCON: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
by Sarah Meyer
Index Research
Iraqis and Americans must read the information below. They must
watch the two videos. And then they, and people over the world,
must ask the U.S. government for a full and open explanation of
what happened at Camp Falcon, Baghdad, on the 10th of October
2006.
Index has had the following report from an Iraqi concerning the
explosions at As Saqr / Camp Falcon:
"The resistance attacked Camp Falcon south of Baghdad. This camp is
considered as the most important munition camp. The explosions in
the camp continued for three hours and was transmitted in direct on
Al Jazeera. The resistance filmed the explosions and diffused them
on the internet.
Iraq for ever of Fadhil Badrani translated the information on US
Pentagon site which says that there were 5000 soldiers in this
camp. But the Pentagon the same night declared that there were only
100 soldiers. This was evident is to hide the losses.

Iraq
10.10.06. Iraqi Resistance Report. "The source admitted that dozens
of Americans had been killed or wounded in the blasts that were
still ripping the American arsenal apart. The source said that the
US forces were unable to do anything to stop the massive inferno of
flame and explosions that was lighting up the Baghdad sky like
fireworks. Reuters reported the puppet regime's "Iraqiyah"
television network as showing pictures of a huge fire lighting up
the night sky."

11.10.06. Iraqi Resistance Report. "In a bulletin posted at 2am
Makkah time before dawn Wednesday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam
reported its correspondent in al-Habbaniyah as saying that the US
military hospital at the massive American-occupied air base there
had begun to receive dead and wounded personnel from the
devastating Resistance rocket assault on the US Falcon arsenal in
the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah.
Just before midnight Tuesday, the Iraqi Resistance fired barrages
of Katyusha and Grad rockets into the arsenal, the largest such
facility in occupied Iraq, causing the ordnance to begin to
explode."

his identity, said that dozens of American soldiers were killed in
those explosions. The source pointed out that six Iraqi translators
were killed in those explosions. American forces refused to hand
over the bodies of the dead Iraqis to their families without giving
reasons."

the American arsenal, known as Camp Falcon, with Grad and Katyusha
rockets. The source admitted that dozens of Americans had been
killed or wounded in the blasts that were still ripping the
American arsenal apart.
Major General Bilal Ahmad al-Ithawi, an adviser to the Iraqi
Defense Minister for transport and supply, visited ad-Durah on
Wednesday morning and told Mafkarat al-Islam that the attack had
inflicted enormous losses on the US military that could total more
than US$1 billion."
No reported casualties at Camp Falcon, eh?

Video. Tactical nuke explodes in Iraq?
"On October 11, 2006, a Tactical Nuclear Device appears to have
exploded when fire broke out in an ammunition dump at Camp Falcon
inside Iraq.
Video from live nightly newscast in Baghdad caught the detonation -
miles away - with it's characteristic ENORMOUS blinding white
flash, a rising core of fire then a small mushroom cloud!" 5.21

(black and white) film can be seen here. A further film (strong
language), undated and unlabeled thus not confirmed "Camp Falcon"
can be seen here.
All the above information, as well as a detailed description of
Camp Falcon / al Sarq (originally published 7 June '06) has been
published at US/UK BASES IN IRAQ, Part II. The South :
Falcon-Al-Sarq, Tallil, Shaibah
NB: There was a further news story, citing names of the dead. This
has not been included because of information concerning the
publisher and the author.
The BRussells Tribunal received the following communication from
depleted uranium (DU) researcher Dai Williams with regard to the
recent (now deleted) 'google' video, as seen in Camp Falcon: What
Really Happened.
"The good news is that the brilliant explosions in what appears to
be an Al-Jazeera TV report are unlikely to be mini-nukes. They are
very similar to the thermobaric bunker buster explosions seen on TV
in Baghdad in March 2003 and in Beirut in August 2006.
The bad news is that in my reports these are suspected undepleted
uranium warheads. They are not fission weapons. But they burn with
an intense flash and fireball sometimes leaving a shower of burning
shrapnel as white stars. These have been confused with white
phosphorus. They are not. Phosphorus has too low density for the
shrapnel trajectories seen in TV and camera shots. Also burning
phosphorus leaves a massive trail of white smoke. Uranium burns
with black smoke, almost invisible in night pictures.
Another clip on the same website is the most graphic image of a
fairly small - perhaps 1000 lb - penetrator or thermobaric warhead
that I have yet seen. It illustrates exactly the features listed
above.
Then look at the first 20 seconds of the BBC TV news report from
Lebanon on 4th August. I used stills from this in my report of 30
August.
I would expect any nuclear device to create far wider blast effects
than shown in the still photographs of the camp. ...
The Falcon fire is a relevant connection which reminds us that some
of these unconventional weapons are being used in several conflict
zones now - Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan and in Gaza and the occupied
territories."
