Is it possible they used depleated uranium for this?

Depleted Uranium rounds are used by our tanks and armor killing aircraft i.e. the .30 mil round used by Wart Hogs and Apaches...because of the hardness of the metal. The high velocity weapons used by our tanks and armor killing aircraft can send the hard depleated Uranium round through several inches of steel. It might possibly be used in the penetrating cone of a bunker buster missile or bomb...I don't know.
The bunkers used by Saddam were made by the Germans and sold by the Germans to Saddam. In the 1st Gulf War our bunker busters would not penetrate the shelters...but during the 2nd Gulf war...we had bunker busters that would penetrate the shelters.
