Two Iraqis were arrested Thursday for carrying a barrel of material suspected to be uranium, a high-ranking police officer told AFP on Sunday. "Iraqi police stopped two Iraqis at a checkpoint north of Mosul. They were carrying a huge quantity of uranium to northern Iraq," said General Hikmat Mahmud Mohamed of the Nineveh provinceâs police department. One policeman was burned when he touched the barrel and was hospitalised, Mohamed said. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2004-02-16 |
