Israel Accused of Testing Experimental Weapons in Gaza
------------------------------------------------------



Two Norwegian doctors who have just returned from Gaza have accused
Israel of testing a new experimental weapon known as Dense Inert Metal
Explosives, or DIME. The weapon causes the tissue to be torn from the
flesh. Dr. Mads Gilbert said, “We have seen a number of very brutal
amputations…without shrapnel injuries, which we strongly suspect must
have been caused by the DIME weapons.” Dr. Erik Fosse said, “I have seen
and treated a lot of different injuries for the last thirty years in
different war zones, and this looks completely different.”
