Hard police work and sheer luck have lead investigators onto the trail of stolen Russian nuclear material. The disintegration of the former Soviet Unionopened the doors of oppurtunity to various nefarious agents who seek profit in nuclear proliferation. With the rising threat of Muslim fundamentalists who wish to destroy Western democracies, atomic material smuggling has suddenly become a major threat. This danger has been brought to the forefront of Western concerns by the recent arrests of two nuclear material smuggling rings.

On March 7, police in Bonn, West Germany intercepted two Polish nationals who were attempting to sell over 2 kilograms of highly-enriched Uranium Dioxide-238, the essential radioactive bomb-making material. One of those arrested had been a former member of the Communist military police. His access to Soviet nuclear material is not thought to have been unique. As republics shear away from the Cold War tyranny which held them in bondage, rigid control structures have disappeared and thus allowed people with knowledge and access to divert nuclear materials away from supervision.

The former Soviet Union had over 30,000 nuclear warheads, many of them tactical weapons such as nuclear land mines and nuclear artillery shells so small that they could be easily hidden in the trunk of a car. This frightening example of the simplicity in acquiring nuclear bomb material was duplicated less than a week later when two other Polish nationals were caught attempting to sell another two kilos of uranium to an undercover police officer in Warsaw. They were promptly arrested and the material confiscated.


However, this recent rush to sell former Soviet uranium has shown the Western powers just how vulnerable they are to the threat of nuclear proliferation. This heightened fear has lead various Western governments to assign special crack investigative teams to hunt down any rumours of nuclear material clandestinely available for purchase.


Paris, long-known as a center for international arms smuggling, is especially keen to such goings on. With noted international arms dealers regularly passing through town, security forces must remain constantly on guard. Although these reports cannot be confirmed, informed sources have told us that there are ongoing investigations into all reports of uranium smuggling. Fears that Paris could become a way-station for the shipment of uranium require that survaillence be maintained so that the general population will not be at risk.

Uranium and plutonium are deadly even in powdered form if inhaled or the radiation absorbed. The simple-to-make "dirty bomb" would use these material to contaminate large areas of crowded urban population centers, causing economic upheavals and social panic.


We wish to repeat at this point that absolutely no uranium is reported to have been found in Paris. There exists at this time no known threat to public safety.


Nuclear technicians have, however, been sighted in Paris. It is hoped that any material which might be uncovered can be safely confiscated before it reaches the hands of hostile governments or terrorist organizations.(See photo above).

 

Soviets Might Have Hidden Nuclear Bombs In Diplomatic Residences In 1960’s!

Another startling revelation was disclosed by a former member of a conservative think-tank.


The source said it is believed that at the height of the Cold War the Soviets smuggled, as diplomatic baggage, small nuclear warheads into their embassies in foreign capitals. Such shipments, protected under diplomatic immunity from search, would allow the destruction of a city without telltale signs of a delivery system such as incoming missile or bomber. It was not possible to confirm this story, as the matter is deemed‘secret’.
