DR Congo uranium mine collapses
Although it is officially closed, thousands worked at the mine
Part of a uranium mine has collapsed in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, killing at least nine people.
The Shinkolobwe mine supplied the uranium in the bombs which the United States dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II.
It was officially closed earlier this year but people still mine there for cobalt, used in mobile phones.
Nuclear experts have raised fears that Congolese uranium could fall into the hands of terror groups. (SNIP)
