"Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) say they have
dismantled an international network set up to illegally use uranium mined
there.

Scientific Research Minister Sylvanus Mushi said DRC's top nuclear official
and a colleague were being questioned in connection with the case.

The official, Fortunat Lumu, and the colleague were arrested on Tuesday.

The move comes amid reports that a large quantity of uranium has gone
missing in recent years in DRC.

State prosecutor Tshimanga Mukeba earlier told the BBC that an
"important quantity" of uranium was taken from the atomic energy
centre in the capital, Kinshasa, without revealing any figures.

DRC's daily newspaper Le Phare on Wednesday reported that more than 100
bars of uranium, as well as an unknown quantity of uranium contained in
helmet-shaped cases, had disappeared from the centre as part of a vast
trafficking of the material going back years. "

It's not like you didn't know the Congo had lots of Uranium....after all
where do you think you got yours for a spot of Jap-burning in 45?

How much? No one knows. For how long? No one knows. Destination? No one knows.

Good thing it woz just blacks killing millions of blacks so we could ignore
it (esp compared to 3000 dead yanks 5 years ago or so).
