This situation is rather interesting, to say the least, which needs investigation. Let's see how this cookie crumbles, or whether it gets swept under the proverbial rug.

My bet is on the rug. Thank God for the Bulgarians.

I do believe God is watching over us.

Does George Galloway (MP) have any connections to the British firm involved?

[Lancey Howard]

I fear it is only a matter of time before there is a nightmare.

Needs a much wider reading audience, however. Glad you posted it tonight.

"He said: "The Prime Minister has accused the Iranian Government of sponsoring international terrorism, yet his officials are doing nothing to prevent radioactive material which has an obvious dual use being sold to their military."

Unbelievable!! Might as well remove the security guards and locks on all the world's nuke facilities and install a loading zone for removal of all the spent fuel rods.

"Would you like to Super-size your order, Mohammad?" DUH!!!

Head shaking here too, Enterprise.

Geez Louise. I wonder what Iran was going to do with that.

[King Prout]

wtf?

[Doctor Stochastic]

...radioactive caesium 137 and americium-beryllium....

Sounds like smoke detectors or other testing equipment. The article didn't say how much material was involved.

Given the number of radical muslims in Britain, a "British firm" could be a wholly owned enterprise of radical jihadists. Some further investigation is warranted to see whether the correct label is actually "Islamic terrorist group" operating in Britain.

This could have been a disaster.

Whenever I read or hear something like this I can't help but wonder what has actually gotten past the authorities!!!!

With everything going on in the ME and elswhere around the world I am becomming increasingly concerned with what seems to appear like a planned coordinated attempt to strike up events at multiple fronts. It may be all planned or maybe it is all circumstantial. I believe the former.

Something is in the wind and it aint perfume.

My two questions are:

How many of these detectors got through before these were discovered? Hmmm?

And who is to say that other detectors were not sent to other countries, appearing completely legal and upfront, and then these eventually found their way to Iran?

AmBe is a neutron source with a a long half life and a very high neutron output.

For implosion type weapons, a neutron source is needed to start the reaction.

A long shelf life neutron source would be required if a country expected to be black-listed by the rest of the world for a while.

Implosion type weapons are important, because they are the small missle-mountable design.

None of this is secret information, by any means.

This could be more ominous than it looks.
