Inchiesta rainews24 su nuove armi

[rossana <rossana at comodinoposta.org>]

Ancora una ottima inchiesta prodotta da rainews24 sulle armi usate nelle 
ultime guerre:
"GAZA. FERITE INSPIEGABILI E NUOVE ARMI" di Flaviano Masella e Maurizio 
Torrealta

Qui potrete trovare informazioni per capire di più cosa sono queste armi:
Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME)

Ma non dobbiamo dimenticare che la dicitura "armi meno mortali" e con 
effetto collaterale ridotto e selettivo, serve per occultare il nuovo 
concetto di guerra:
missioni di protezione e tutela della pace.
Armi usate anche dalla polizia durante le manifestazioni ad energia 
diretta (TASER) che producono calore
Sulle armi "non-letali" vi sarà un convegno a Londra a ottobre:

Less-Lethal Weapons 2006 Conference
Life saving technologies and techniques

The conference aims to cover a range of LLW techniques from Europe and 
the USA including low-light operations; empaty-handed stills and 
tactical training. Case studies cover LLW usage in Iraqi crowd control 
and the G8 summit - as well as the lessons learnt when less-lethal use 
of force leades to unintentional death. Developments in technology from 
around the world will be disclosed as well as specific research into 
unintentional discharges and rapid entry devices.

Through topical and informed presentations, an open discussion forum and 
by examining real life case studies, the Jane’s Ninth Annual Less-Lethal 
Weapons Conference will allow you to debate best practice and 
operational requirements, whilst highlighting new LLW progress, policy 
and technology.

Who should attend LLW 2006?

This exclusive two day international conference has been created 
specifically for the following groups:

Leaders and operational personnel from land, naval and air forces
Managers from the Police Service and Security Organisations
Humanitarian and civil liberties groups
