It was reported on FR several times last year that the Israleis were able to intercept a smuggled "back pack" dirty radiation device being brought into the Israeli territories by a terrorist. This information was reportedly passed as credible to the highest levels of the USG.

As I recall it was also reported that the "radiological bomb" story was a cover story, and that it was actually a tactical nuke.

I would appreciate it if you could find and post on FreeRepublic a reference to the story you say you recall that the device actually intercepted by the Israelis was a tactical nuke instead of a radioactive dirty bomb. A number of Freepers and myself are interested in the subject if you could help out. Thanks.
