  • ‘Dirty bomb’ uranium seized

    Well going from a Tom Clancy movie I saw it should just take them days if not hours to analyze the samples and work out which exact processing plant the material came from. But besides that its obvious this plot was orchestrated by someone corrupt who is much higher up than these patsies here. If there was a hint of anyone "muslim" involved the press would be yelling Al Qaida and Islamofascism 24/7 like they did with Jose Padilla(who never even touched any dirty material)and for all you know the next fall guys in the chain could have been unsuspecting muslim patsies who knows, I just wanna know who masterminded this and what their ultimate goal was. Good job Slovak Police!

    ‘Dirty bomb’ uranium seized

    BRATISLAVA: Slovakian police seized enriched uranium that could be used in a “dirty bomb” when they arrested three traffickers near the Hungarian border, officials said on Thursday.

    “According to preliminary information, the material could have been used to make a so-called dirty bomb,” senior police official Michal Kopcik told a news conference. The haul contained 481.4 grams of the material, Kopcik said, adding that it contained uranium-235, the type used in nuclear reactors and in nuclear warheads, as well as the naturally occuring uranium-238.

    “The radioactive uranium was even more dangerous because it was in powder form,” Kopcik explained.

    Police said three suspects were detained on Wednesday near the Hungarian border with two containers containing the radioactive uranium. One was a 40-year old Ukrainian, another a 49-year-old Hungarian living in Ukraine and the third a Hungarian aged 51.

    Police said they first traced the radioactive material in Ukraine, but did not give further details about its origin.—AFP

      That is what irks me, they do mention it so its not like they are trying to prevent mass hysteria by supressing the discovery. Indeed one can argue going by many published news articles such as the famous Jose Padilla case that significant effort has been made in the press to create as much hysteria as possible, at least when it comes to "jihadis" but when someone actually grabs radiocative material it just makes a page three not in passing?

      Even from a cynical and paranoid perspective it still doesn't make complete sense. What is the missing ingredient here? Just no jihadis, or something else the matter? Why no coverage?
