CHILGOK,South Korea, July 8 (UPI) -- A team of investigators says it has detected the presence of metallic drums buried under a South Korean military base that could contain Agent Orange.
The joint South Korean-U.S. investigation said it detected unidentified metal objects buried beneath a helipad at Camp Carroll in Chilgok, some 180 miles southeast of Seoul.
The location of the drums matches claims made in May by some retired American soldiers who said they buried 250 55-gallon drums of Agent Orange at the site in 1978. Agent Orange is a defoliant used in Vietnam and it has been linked to birth defects and cancer.
