Tajikistan arrests man with plutonium for sale
Tajik authorities have arrested a man with three grams of factory-grade plutonium that he allegedly planned to sell to someone in Afghanistan or Pakistan, officials told AFP today. Factory-grade? I guess that means itâs less than weapons grade. "The arrested man confessed that he intended to sell the plutonium to citizens of Afghanistan or Pakistan for 21,000 dollars," said Avaz Yuldashev, spokesman for the drug control agency in the Central Asian country. Three grams isnât much, but it would make a little dirty bomb. Posted by: Steve 2004-03-15 |
