Uranium -238 Seized in Moldova.

Moldovan police seized 1.8 kilograms (4 pounds) of uranium-238 from a criminal gang that sought to sell it for as much as 9 million euros ($11 million) – http://www.businessweek.com/news/201...smugglers.html
Well, well, here it adds the main basis of that ‘renovated’ warm friendship between Moldova and Georgia… If you remember, previously it was exactly Georgia who had been accused of connivance and smuggling the Ukrainian uranium to Iran, but after the change of power in Ukraine and the Yanukovich’s accession there, who has ordered to liquidate the entire uranium stores, the source has failed. And what can we see now? The Saakashvili’s dirty business is alive and quite well doing… That means only one thing - he has found another supplier. I guess now it is Belarus, which also has enough of uranium since the Soviet times (I remember, Lukashenko even tried to blackmail Europe with it). The scheme of dirty business stays put with the only difference that now Georgia receives uranium materials via mediator (read Moldova) and resell it to Iran. Well, here’s the GUAM’s new formula for success: ‘the Azeri oil from the East to the West and the Belarusian uranium from the West to the East’. I think the Saakashvili’s impelling urge to bring Belarus into the organization now seems to be as clear as a day…
