Anyone see this reported on THIS side of the pond?
"Border guards seized a British lorry on its way to make a delivery to the Iranian military - after discovering it was packed with radioactive material that could be used to build a dirty bomb. "
Hmmmmm......
"The lorry set off from Kent on its way to Tehran but was stopped by officials at a checkpoint on Bulgaria's northernborder with Romania after a scanner indicated radiation levels 200 times above normal. "
Surely this was some innocent misunderstanding...right?
"On board they found ten lead-lined boxes addressed to the Iranian Ministry of Defence. Inside each box was a soil-testing device, containing highly dangerous quantities of radioactive caesium 137 and americium-beryllium." (emphasis mine)
Well this certain sheds a whole new light on the peacefull purposes of the Iranian governments nuclear program, doesn't it?????
