Vatican masts blamed for child cancer

A COURT-ORDERED study has found that electromagnetic waves beamed by Vatican Radio leave residents living near the station’s antennas at a higher risk of cancer.

Six officials of the station are now being investigated for manslaughter, according to reports.

Prof Andrea Micheli, from Milan’s National Tumor Institute, focused on 19 child deaths from leukaemia or lymphoma between 1980 and 2003 in the Cesano area.
