Radioactive Materials Smuggling
The Blotter – Not so much with the nuclear threat, but troubling to some degree:
In a troubling disclosure, the Russian Federal Customs Service has revealed that authorities thwarted more than 850 attempts to smuggle highly radioactive materials in and out of Russia in 2007. Eighty-five percent of these smuggling attempts were going into the country, and 15 percent were going out.
