Terrorists' Uranium Found

Before you go into shock mode, the story goes on to say that the uranium was so low grade that it could not have been used in a dirty bomb. The implication is that the numbnuts in Hugo Chavez's favorite terrorist organization thought they were getting the good stuff, but instead they just bought a bag of oregano. Miami Herald:

Colombian authorities said they seized up to 66 pounds of low-grade uranium hidden off the side of a road in southern Bogotá on Wednesday, which the Colombian Defense Ministry said belonged to FARC guerrillas.

The Defense Ministry said the discovery adds weight to the evidence found in a laptop belonging to slain guerrilla leader Raúl Reyes, which showed the rebels were interested in buying and selling the uranium on the international underground market.

Thanks to Cindy.
