| Slovak and Hungarian police seized a kilo (2.2 lbs) of radioactive material and arrested three people in a joint operation on Wednesday, a spokesman said. Slovak police spokesman Martin Korch said the material was being examined and did not confirm a report carried by the Slovak news agency SITA that it was enriched uranium. "This one kilogram should have been sold for one million U.S. dollars," spokesman Martin Korch said. The spokesman said the police raid took place along the eastern part of the two central European countries' common frontier, near their borders with Ukraine. "Three people have been taken into custody, two in Slovakia one in Hungary," he said. " |

| #3 We must never forget that where asymmetric warfare is concerned, including but not limited to proxy Terror, a low-profile, low/small-yield device is operationally ideal versus high-profile, high-yield/magnitude devices. The former is perennial, the latter is political. RADICAL MULLAHS > Iff FOREIGN INTERVENTIONISM = "GREAT POWER(S)" GEOPOL CONFRONTATION-CHAOS IS A DE FACTO AGENDA, i.e. to firstly get stronger nations to milpol quarrel amongst themselves, THEN ITS NOT NECESS TO HAVE A LARGE OR EVEN MEDIUM-YIELD BOMB(S) - TIME + PLACE + REACTION, etc. IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN BOMB SIZE. |

| #2 It's not the first time enriched Uranium has been siezed. The good news is 1 kg is nowhere near enough for a bomb. |
