This is much the same as what we heard from Dr. Livergood.

I couldn't find a date on Livergood's article to compare with the dates of the above.

Searle, I'm not sure why this is supposed to be such a big deal. We've known for years that following the dissolution of the former Soviet Union copious amounts of radio-active materials were finding their way out of Eastern Europe. In fact I remember one article warning of the dangers of exposure to radio activity to those taking same flights as smugglers who tended to carry the stuff in briefcases.

Now from Turkey, the Uranium could be on its way to Iran or Pakistan with a trade route that limits exposure to public condemnation by making the final destination ambiguous. Also the made in west germany thing means nothing. You think they want the world to know the true source if caught.

With all the stuff smuggled in the '90's this story is only of note if it turns out it was the first stuff on its way to Iraq.
