Radioactive material stolen in Mexico: officials
Mexico City (AFP) - The Mexican government warned Friday that a vehicle containing radioactive material has been stolen, and issued a dire warning to the thieves against taking the potentially deadly material from its protective container.
Federal civil defense officials said the vehicle had been transporting deadly iridium-192, a radioactive substance used in making some industrial products.
The substance "can be dangerous for human health if removed from its container," the officials said in a statement, adding that the material can be lethal even if handled for only a brief time.
The theft in Mexico state prompted officials to issue an alert throughout the capital region and in neighboring states.

Secure the borders, NOW!!
Evil swine.
As long as they get their EBT checks then all will be just fine with the dimwits. If not, then they riot.
Amen!
AMEN
I worry that if it is in the news, it may be closer than we think!
That Vallerie Jarrett looks like a freakin demon.

If it weren’t a complete waste of time and energy, I’d cry like a little girl. As it is, Grizzly Mama wants to tear some people apart.
WTF is Perry waiting on? Call me up!!
The truck & material have been recovered. Thank goodness.
You left out the first claim would be that it was Bush’s fault.
She is a demon and she controls everything.
Read Blood Feud. It’s even worse than I thought.
I understand the concern on this thread, but this happens a LOT. Yay-hoos of whatever nationality hijack a truck just aiming to sell whatever’s in it. Remember a few years back when the thieves got a lethal or almost-lethal dose of radiation in this exact scenario?
Yeah, but a few years back there wasn’t such a massive flood of illegals pouring into America +with help from the US government +being run by people like these +in an election year.
Well, good point!
Still cracks me up every time I see a story of guys (you know they’re idiots already) hijacking a truck and getting a whole lot of grief for their trouble when they open it!
Like something out of 1984’s Repo Man.
Holy crap! JUST thinking that same thing! Happy Fourth, by the way!
