Radiological Weapons: Laos Denies Involvement in Thai Cesium Incident Laos yesterday denied involvement in efforts to smuggle radioactive materials into Thailand (see GSN, June 18). Thai authorities last week arrested a man in Bangkok who was attempting to sell cesium 137. During interrogations, the man said the material was smuggled from Russia into Laos and that additional quantities were still being stored there. Laotian authorities, however, have found no radioactive materials after investigating the claim, Laotian Foreign Minister Somsavat Lengsavat said. “We have no idea what kind of substance it is. I am surprised about the report,” Somsavat said. “Please do not involve Laos in every bad story about what Thai people have done,” he added (The Nation/BBC Worldwide Monitoring, June 19).
