FYI, Labeling for bio or other hazardous stuff is made to be practically indestructable. It is likely embossed on the container.

As to the mis-spelling, European versions of english is more a quasi-english. Mispelling is common.

I do not yet see evidence of a fraud. I do see people getting pretty excited about the use of the term "weapons grade". The term is misleading.

Good points all, and taken under consideration. Just keeping my eyes, ears, and mind open to the best of my abilities.

And I agree, terminology can be confusing. From what I know, many forms of radioactive materials can be used in the production of a "dirty bomb". But "fissile" material must be conditioned, starting with U238 or some derivative and ideally ending with Plutonium, or something close to it, depending on the ability of the processing method to "enrich" the material. Saddam would prefer fissile material, to be sure, but he is certainly not averse to coordinating a plot to use non-fissile material to contaminate any of a number of targets, with Tel Aviv, NYC, and Wash DC making the short list.

Packing uranium in a taxi sounds very "Balkan" to me. They've been caught before like this. I bet this stuff came through the Balkans. The Balkans was the main hub center for illegal trade from Russia and Asia into Europe and the middle east. The illegal weapons trade and all the other illegal trades is the reason I think we invaded them, but I don't think that stops all the illegal "commodities" traffic through there. After all, we sided with the primary middle men, the KLA.
