"US, Russia secretly remove uranium from Uzbekistan"


SNIPPET: "Uzbekistan has been touted as a bastion of Muslim moderation, but evidently neither the US nor the Russian governments believe that is entirely true. From AFP:

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States and Russia carried out a secret operation last week to remove weapons-grade uranium from the former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan, whose government is facing growing Islamist unrest, said the Energy Department....

Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said Monday the one-day operation, implemented last Thursday, was crucial for enhancing international security."

Re your post: "US, Russia secretly remove uranium from Uzbekistan"

Whoa....

Weren't several Uzbeks involved in the school hostage situation?
