AP via NYT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- This month's arrest of a South Africa-based businessman accused of smuggling nuclear bomb triggers to Pakistan offers a rare window into the worldwide black market for nuclear weapons parts.

Authorities accuse Asher Karni, 50, of being the middleman for a complex series of transactions involving dozens of the triggers. Agents arrested Karni Jan. 2 at Denver International Airport.

Anything happening in the midwest tonight of a large law-enforcement response nature, possibly terror or WMD related?

Rumors are afoot.
