Letter: Nato's regrets
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Information is coming from Belgrade that levels of radioactivity in Yugoslavia are rising to a dangerous level. Jamie Shea on CNN has dismissed these allegations as "propaganda".
In the light of the possibility of long-term contamination in the area, should not neutral observers from the United Nations go to Belgrade to establish the truth or falsity of these claims? If they are indeed true, should not Nato be banned from dropping bombs and missiles containing depleted uranium?
If this ban is not carried out, not only will the Kosovan refugees be in danger if they return to their homeland, but there will be a risk of "Gulf war syndrome" among Nato troops entering Kosovo, whether as "peacemakers" or "peacekeepers".
