In his book The Fire This Time, former U.S attorney-general Ramsey Clark
said there were about fifty thousand depleted-uranium missiles and rockets
fired from U.S aircraft in more than 110,000 aerial sorties over Iraq. He
said U.S aircraft had dropped over eighty-eight thousand tons of bombs on
the country, the equivalent of seven-and-one-half bombs of the size of the
atomic bomb that incinerated Hiroshima. But later research proved that
there were probably more than nine hundred thousand rounds of depleted
uranium ammunition fired on Iraq"
