I found an article that alleges his injuries are likely to have been caused by a small nuclear device.

The weapon that caused such rapid incineration is unknown. It certainly was not a thermobaric weapon as used currently in Iraq and Gaza. Uranium weapons give rise to a fireball as the dust ignites. This can melt steel but there are no photographs of human victims of such attacks which match the incineration of the arms of Ali Abbas, although these weapons have been used frequently – both in the Gulf War and in the ongoing Iraq War. The clandestine use of a small tactical nuclear weapon cannot not be ruled out.

I am reluctant to add this to the entry, as this article clearly has some bias against the occupation forces. Thoughts?

There was recently a bbc1 documentary on Ali and how his life has changed since the bombing. More information is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00q9xtd —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skunky6969 (talk • contribs) 03:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
