Turkey: Police Arrest Uranium Peddlers Turkish law enforcement authorities seized about one kilogram of weapons-grade uranium yesterday from two Turks who tried to sell the material to undercover agents in Istanbul, a Turkish security official told Agence France-Presse today. The two men told police they had bought the material from a Russian man of Azeri origin several months ago. Before making the purchase, police tested a small sample of the uranium the men were selling at a nuclear research center and learned it was weapons-grade. The peddlers attempted to sell the uranium for $750,000. “They were barely aware of what they were selling. They only knew that it was a very expensive substance and wanted to make money,” the official said (Agence France-Presse, Nov. 7).
