presstv talking to doctors at Gaza hospital say Israel is using...
The DIME Bomb: Yet Another Genotoxic Weapon, Part I
By James Brooks, Al-Jazeerah, 5 December 2006
It's been almost five months since the first report that Israeli drone aircraft have been dropping a “mystery weapon” on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Since then, news media around the world have run stories depicting the strange and “horrific” wounds inflicted by the new bomb. The international press has spoken with Palestinian doctors and medics who say Israel's new device is a kind of chemical weapon that has significantly increased the fatality rate among the victims of Israeli attacks. (1)(2)
In mid-October, Italian investigators reported forensic evidence that suggests the new weapon may also represent the near future of US “counterinsurgency warfare”. Combined with photographs of the victims and testimony from attending doctors, this evidence points to the use of Dense Inert Metal Explosives (DIME). (3)
DIME is an LCD (”low collateral damage”) weapon developed at the US Air Force Research Laboratory. Publicly, it is slated for initial deployment in 2008. DIME bombs produce an unusually powerful blast within a relatively small area, spraying a superheated “micro-shrapnel” of powdered Heavy Metal Tungsten Alloy (HMTA). Scientific studies have found that HMTA is chemically toxic, damages the immune system, rapidly causes cancer, and attacks DNA (genotoxic).(4-11)
It is unfortunate that the US media have virtually blacked out the story of Israel's new weapon, not least because our own military may soon be using it in Iraq and Afghanistan. The story might also have told us something about the grossly disproportionate brutality of Israel's war on the Palestinian people—reason enough for the media to suppress it.(12)
Thanks to the intrepid Italians, the story could even have introduced Americans to their government's DIME weapons program. This three-part article will ask whether Israel is ‘testing’ US DIME bombs in the Gaza Strip, and explore the workings, dangers, and projected use of DIME weapons and their roots in depleted uranium (DU) research. These parallels will lead us to consider DIME in its historical context, as the latest innovation in the US military's long-running development of genotoxic weapons.
“They cannot return to life again”
The first reports about ‘Israel's new weapon’ came from Dr Joma Al-Saqqa, chief of the emergency unit at Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa. Dr. Al-Saqqa said that Israel was using “a new ‘chemical’ weapon” and its siege was “a live exercise on a new ammunition that, so far, has resulted in killing 50 Palestinians and injuring 200.” He observed that, “despite the damage in internal soft tissue in the bodies of injured people, the fragments were not detected by X-ray. In other words, they had disappeared or dissolved inside the body.”(13)
“There were usually entry and exit wounds,” Dr. Al-Saqqa reported. “When the wounds were explored no foreign material was found. There was tissue death, the extent of which was difficult to determine. A higher deep infection rate resulted with subsequent amputation. In spite of amputation there was a higher mortality.” (14) The effects of the weapon seemed “radioactive”. (15) According to Palestine News Network, Dr. Al-Saqqa “confirmed that there were dozens of wounded legs and arms. Many of them had been burned from the inside, and distorted to the point that they cannot return to life again.”(16)
“When the shrapnel hit[s] the body, it causes very strong burns that destroy the tissues around the bones… it burns and destroys internal organs, like the liver, kidneys, and the spleen and other organs and makes saving the wounded almost impossible. As a surgeon, I have seen thousands of wounds during the Intifada, but nothing was like this weapon.”(17)
However, Dr. Al-Saqqa could not analyze the chemistry of the bizarre wounds. On the first day of the siege, June 27, Israel had conveniently destroyed Gaza's only criminal laboratory. (18) Despite his pleas to the “international community” to investigate and lend assistance in treating the victims, “no one has lifted a finger”, the doctor was quoted in mid-July. “What we found were journalists who came to take pictures, but as for the medical community, nothing.” (19)
On August 3, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reported that Commissioner-General Karen AbuZayd had visited Dr. Al-Saqqa's hospital, “where the staff is struggling to deal with wounds resulting in an unusually high number of amputations.” Commissioner AbuZayd commented that “what we saw in Al-Shifa…was rather horrific.” (20)
According to Merlin (Medical Emergency Relief International), “75 per cent of war-wounded patients admitted at one hospital needed amputations” following an Israeli attack on Gaza City. (21)
The World Health Organization was reportedly considering an investigation into the injuries. Physicians for Human Rights—Israel “agreed to take away fragments of tissue from the bodies of Palestinians killed during the recent military operations in Gaza for possible analysis in Israel but urged the medics to seek an international investigation.” (22)
Tungsten in Tissue Samples: A DIME Weapon?
On October 19, Italy's Rai24news televised an investigative report that supplied crucial new information. The Italian investigators had tissue samples from the victims in Gaza analyzed by Dr. Carmela Vaccaio at University Parma. Dr. Vaccaio reportedly found “a very high concentration of carbon and the presence of unusual materials, such as copper, aluminum and tungsten.” The doctor concluded that her “findings could be in line with the hypothesis that the weapon in question is DIME.”
Rai24news reporters also talked to Maj. Gen. Yitzhak Ben-Israel, former chief of the IDF's weapons development program. General Ben-Israel appeared to be familiar with DIME weapons. He explained that, “one of the ideas is to allow those targeted to be hit without causing damage to bystanders or other persons.” (23) The US Air Force refers to this emerging realm of weaponry as FLM (Focused Lethality Munitions). FLM is expected to provide the ‘weapons of choice’ for targeting “terrorists hiding among civilians”, as a cheerleading Wall Street Journal article put it. (24)
With “focused lethality [and] higher energy materials…nano particles, intelligent fuzing, [and] mass focus lethality”, the Air Force “will be able to strike effectively, wherever and whenever necessary, with minimal collateral damage.” Ominously, the military thinks these weapons will allow it to target sites “previously off limits to the warfighter.” (25)(26)
This warfare of the future is reminiscent of what Israel has been doing for years, but with one-ton bombs, 155-mm artillery shells, and tank-fired antipersonnel flechette bombs. Are FLM weapons like DIME an improvement? Or will they actually increase civilian casualties and suffering, and mimic depleted uranium weapons by inducing disease and genetic damage in their victims? These disturbing questions will be explored in the next installment of this article.

He would be one of the first on the scene after an Israeli missile zeroed in on a Palestinian militant�s home. He would sift through the rubble looking for victims.
In July he started seeing people with odd burns, mutilated limbs and he rarely saw shrapnel. Most unusual, he says, were little dark spots on the skin.
�Like this�, he says lifting his right pant leg and revealing a stump. Most of his leg is gone and on his upper thigh, his hands and his right leg are hundreds of small black spots.
On July 19th Abu Holy was helping the wounded after an Israeli missile attack. Shortly after arriving on the scene a second missile hit a nearby home and he was injured.
While he carefully inspects the spots on his fingers and legs he says, �they call it the black dust. And I am afraid now I am going to die of cancer because of this�
There are plenty of rumors but few facts. The non-profit group Physicians for Human Rights is convinced the Israeli Army is using a weapon called D.I.M.E. (Dense Inert Metal Explosive). The weapon is now being tested in the United States. |

Debating Depleted Uranium
In Gaza, life ain't worth a DIME
B30595 / Wed, 31 Dec 2008 12:18:12 / "War on Terror"
I was watching Al Jazeera tonight, a privilege I can enjoy here in Taiwan for about $2 a month but stateside Americans cannot unless they happen to live in Burlington, VT or Columbus, OH.
Al J gives a much better picture of the horrific reality in conflict spots around the world than does any American channel, especially when it comes to the Islamic world.
Tonight, I was gobsmacked by one clip of a Norwegian doctor giving an interview from Gaza. He was a member of the first foreign medical volunteer team allowed inside the strip. He had lots of harsh words for the Israelis about proportionality, cowardice and other moral issues. But what blew me away (no humor intended) was his statement that many of the injured victims (2000+ and counting; about 40% women and children) suffered from severe burns that he said were caused by newfangled weapons containing some kind of tungsten alloy. I presume he was talking about so-called DIME weapons, full name, Dense Inert Metal Explosives.
He also mentioned that these weapons were apparently radioactive as well as incendiary. The Global Security link just above makes no mention of this feature, but some of the scant reports existing on the Net regarding their alleged use against Gaza and south Lebanon in 2006 do, for example, this one and this one.
Al J ran this doctor’s report a second time later in the evening, and I made a crude video of it which I just uploaded to YouTube. Unfortunately, in this second airing they cut off the clip just before he talked about the burns and “radioactive” tungsten weapons. (Clip at bottom)
So, what is the source of the radioactivity, one might be inclined to ask if one is not a practicing journalist worried about his paycheck. Well, one obvious possibility is that these bombs, which are said to use a tungsten alloy, might contain depleted uranium. This is just my speculation; I haven’t read or heard it anywhere else. We can only hope it is depleted uranium, indeed, for the alternative would likely be worse. At least DU is less radioactive than the other choices available to the sicko weapons engineers who dream up these ever more efficient ways to kill people.
Nevertheless, DU might appear quite an attractive choice to Israeli schemers who could quite conceivably want to do some collateral damage to the Palestinian gene pool, which also happens to be a Semetic gene pool despite the Jewish hogging of that racial term. This is because DU is probably the easiest radioactive weapon to hide from the not-so-prying eyes of the media and international whitewashing agencies like the UN. It may be only “slightly” radioactive, but its radiation is very destructive when internalized, and it conveniently combusts into nanoscopic particles when burned up in bomb blasts. These particles could conceivably get sequestered inside sensitive tissues in the body where time will ensure that they eventually cause DNA damage through alpha radiation.
To recap for the umpteenth time on this blog, alpha radiation is famously safe under normal circumstances, being easily absorbed by a sheet of paper or a layer of dead skin cells. Inside the body tissues however, it is by far the most damaging kind of radiation since it has a particle size many orders of magnitude larger than beta or gamma radiation. Imagine someone shooting cannon balls at you from a kilometer away at a rate of one per second. Eventually one of them is gonna kill you. Analogously, eventually a single alpha particle emission from a speck of DU lodged in the wrong place could be the one that smithereens the wrong strand of DNA leading to a fatal cancer or transmissible mutation.

In mid-October 2006 a team of investigative journalists at RAI Italian television reported that Israel had been using a new weapon in the Gaza Strip, similar to DIME – dense inert metal explosive. The report was produced by the same journalists who claimed without foundation that the US used White Phosphorus (WP) against civilians during attacks on Fallujah. According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, the weapon was launched from drones in the summer of 2006, most of them in July, and led to "abnormally serious" physical injuries. Physicians in the Gaza Strip noted the pattern of wounds they were treating were unusual, with severed legs that showed signs of severe heat at the point of amputation but no metal shrapnel. The American version is still in a testing stage and had not been used on the battlefield at that time. It has not been "declared an illegal weapon", though the weapon was claimed [without described basis] to be "highly carcinogenic and harmful to the environment".
Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME) is uniquely suited for Low Collateral Damage. It produces lower pressure but increased impulse in the near field. Far Field damage is reduced (no frags/ impulse rolloff). The lethal footprint can be tuned to precision footprint. Strike Weapon Scaling Tests were completed in August of 2004), and full-scale Mk-82 tests were in the planning stage as of early 2005. DARPA funded RPG defense system feasibility tests in January 2005, which were successful.
Additional Small Diameter Bomb funding would allow the facilities to continue development of a Focused Lethality Munition (FLM) using the Dense Inert Metal Explosive technology integrated into SDB I. With lawmakers' approval, the dollars would allow AFRL to "continue to mature FLM technology. The armament center would integrate the technology with the SDB I baseline model within the advanced technology demonstration construct and demonstrates utility through a flight test program.
AFRL is currently utilizing high-fidelity physics-based simulations to aid in the design and testing of low-collateral-damage (LCD) munitions. LCD munitions will benefit the warfighter during urban conflicts where standard munitions would inflict unacceptable collateral damage levels. AFRL partnered with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to employ a physics-based code in the design and evaluation of the munitions, which are based on a dense inert metal explosive (DIME) technology. The code requires a DIME-specific multiphase flow capability to accurately simulate the DIME-type munitions. The laboratory is continually validating this new capability as the program progresses.
AFRL is utilizing this new capability to assist in the design and validation of LCD weapon concepts. The unique simulations provide the testing community with valuable insight in the areas of weapon detonation physics and blast wave interaction with the test's structural targets. The physical fidelity of the code provides valuable data that allows the researchers to accurately quantify the differences between standard and LCD munitions. This capability allows the team to make timely, informed concept decisions and is more cost effective than trial-and-error testing.
Increased attention to the employment of precision weapons has decreased the occurrence of unintentional collateral damage. Until now, the development of new munitions to do the same has fallen behind. The AFRL's Munitions Directorate dense inert metal explosive (DIME) concept team successfully demonstrated an effective mechanism to reduce collateral damage, helping the warfighter to prevent the loss of public support and more importantly, the loss of innocent life.
AFRL encountered survivability problems of conventional air-blast transducers while measuring the close-in blast environment from DIME charges. In 2002, a specially designed Hopkinson bar gauge was utilized to obtain near-field blast measurements from a DIME charge. However, the 2002 tests produced data at only one distance at normal incidence.
AFRL's 20-charge test series in 2004 corrected that problem and produced reflected pressure and impulse data from various distances and angles of incidence, facilitating a lethality analysis of the DIME concept. Scientists used this data to create pressure and impulse maps that detail the near- and far-field magnitudes versus distance and angle of incidence, effectively validating the DIME charge as a low-collateral-damage munition.
The Air Force is demonstrating a low collateral damage warhead, allowing a "behind-the-wall" threat prosecution with a highly localized lethal footprint. The warhead case consists of a low-density, wrapped carbon-fiber/epoxy matrix integrated with a steel nose and base. The low-density composite case can survive penetration into a one-foot hardened concrete wall. Upon detonation, the carbon-fiber warhead case disintegrates into small non-lethal fibers with little or no metallic fragments, thus significantly reducing collateral damage to people and structures. The warhead explosive fill is a dense inert metal explosive containing fine tungsten particles to provide a ballasted payload with sufficient penetration mass. The tungsten displaces energetic material so as to reduce the total energetic used. The net results are higher dynamic energy impulse all within a small lethal footprint.
Previous scaled tests show that the carbon composite casing breaks up into small harmless fibers during the detonation event, effectively removing fragmentation as a lethal mechanism to nearby collateral assets. Thus, near-field airblast with entrained high-velocity inert metal particles are the damage mechanisms for carbon composite cased munitions with DIME fills. Characterization of blast loads from this class of concept munition is essential to verify effectiveness against targets of interest while minimizing collateral damage. Unfortunately, the high-velocity, high temperature inert metal particles found in DIME fills have proved to be extremely damaging to traditional pressure measurement instruments. Hence, new measurement diagnostics had to be developed to investigate DIME formulations.
Previous experiments have demonstrated that specially-designed pressure bar gages outfitted with strain gages were capable of measuring applied blast loads from DIME charges. In 2005, this measurement technology was applied to a series of nine experiments involving full-scale charges with carbon composite casings. Explosive mass and explosive type (two DIME formulations and one conventional high explosive) were varied in the test series. Three pressure bar gages were fielded on each test to characterize the airblast environment produced by each carbon composite cased explosive charge. This paper describes the pressure bar implementation during these experiments, presents results, and comments on the performance of the pressure bars as a measurement diagnostic for this novel class of explosives. |

It is also the weakest because unless some form of reinforcement is used (see below) it relies upon glue alone to hold it together. Because the orientation of the members usually present only end grain to long grain gluing surface, the resulting joint is inherently weak.
The butt joint is a very simple joint to construct. Members are simply docked at the required angle (usually 90°) and required length. One member will be shorter than the finished size by the thickness of the adjacent member. For enclosed constructions, such as four-sided frames or boxes, the thickness of the two adjacent members must be taken into consideration. For example: when constructing a four sided box made from 19mm thick material that is to be of finished size 600mm x 600mm, two of the members will be I4oTuFskPCc4 docked at 600mm and two will be docked at 600mm - 19mm - 19mm = 562mm. |
