The IAEA is worried that lax security could lead to enriched uranium falling into the wrong hands
--
Congo’s atomic energy commission has missed every target on security and safety, but funding is coming in and its officials believe that a bright future lies ahead for the nuclear facility.

Amid the market stalls, hawkers and gridlocked cars on the road out of Congo's capital and into the Kinshasa hills there is nothing to mark the way to a nondescript clutch of buildings a few hundred yards down a side street.
The dilapidated concrete compound is protected by little more than a low-slung rusted barbed-wire fence and a rickety gate sealed by a single padlock. It would be easy enough to slip through a hole in the fence but there is no need, as the main entrance to what is supposed to be one of the best guarded sites in Congo is often unmanned.

Mohamed ElBaradei: "We want these nuclear supplies taken only by
the "right" people, such as my sister's family in Iran.
Meanwhile, I hope you Americans stay stupid and keep ignoring
that my trainees control the US Patent Office's alternative energy group arts.
You Americans are such stupid dhimmis."
Holy KI, Batman, we're screwed!
Will it be directly deposited into numbered Swiss accounts, or will the recipients have to make some effort to embezzle the money?
Unfortunately, they will probably have to make the minimum effort of a phone call or two.
Sorry, but that's just the way it is. There's bureaucracy everywhere, you know.
Excellent cartoon.
The sad and scary part is that it's completely true.
Ah, I wouldn't worry about that, mate. I doubt they even read the Guardian.
Let's hope the future isn't a little too bright.
Don't worry, I am sure the terrorists don't need to read The Guardian to find this out.
In fact, I would bet dollars to donuts that there are a lot of missing enriched uranium bars. Both Iran and Al Qaeda have plenty of money.
Don't worry, be happy. It's A-Freak-A, after all.
The article didn't mention that the compound is in the middle of a pig farm. What better security could there be? :)
Well now....seems to me....we might now know....where the traces of uranium and plutonium....found by the IAEA in Iran....only a few days ago....might have originated from.
