Missing Chinese Uranium Poses Serious Threat

China is missing some Uranium and they have no idea where it has gone.

Seventeen pounds of highly radioactive uranium was stolen in an attempt to resell the deadly element on the black market.

Four Chinese citizens have been charged with an attempt to sell enriched uranium between 2005 and 2007. The men were arrested in January after a potential buyer turned them in to the Chinese police.

However, the trial has been delayed because Chinese authorities have been unable to locate the missing uranium.

According to court records and information published in the Sydney Herald Post, all four defendants are suffering from radiation poisoning due to mishandling of the uranium. (snip)

I was checking for updates on that for awhile (foreign news); but never found any any good news updates — as far as I know — still missing.
