"Venezuelan police hunt missing killer capsules of radioactive Iridium-192"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Venezuela's National Guard (GN), Civil Defense and police are also involved in the nationwide hunt.  The capsules were encased in protective containers of depleted uranium and are said to be "about the size of a lunchbox."

"The health and lives of people around would be at risk ... since they're quite heavy, people might think they have something valuable inside."

Venezuela's Civil Defense chief Antonio Rivero is  concerned that the capsules might fall into terrorist hands ... "they could be used in a malicious fashion ... someone might try to place these capsules near a person or a place where people were gathered, for terrorist purposes.""
