Special unit member says no evidence found for depleted uranium
---------------------------------------------------------------

A member of the Czech special chemical unit sent to Kosovo to investigate
possible radiation on sites where Czech troops have been taking part in KFOR
operations, has said that the team found no evidence for the presence of
depleted uranium. Otakar Neruda said that there was some natural radiation
in the area, but that levels were lower than those found here in the Czech
Republic. The team will be presenting its findings to the Czech Army's
General Staff on Friday. Mr Neruda also questioned the existence of the
so-called Balkan Syndrome.
