UN, GCC concern over ‘missing’ Iranian N-device

Staff writer, Al ArabiyaThursday, 24 November 2016

Gulf countries are following up with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the potential negative effects of a missing nuclear device at the Iranian nuclear reactor in Bushehr. They are specially keen to know what impact it could have on water pollution in the region, a Gulf official has confirmed.

Dr Adnan Al-Tamimi, Chairman of the GCC Emergency Management Center, expressed his concern over the loss of the radioactive device that was used for industrial purposes. According to reports, the car that was carrying it was stolen and then it was found without it.

Bumping this story up; it is just getting more play in the news:

The Jerusalem Post reports that the radioactive material contained within the device was composed of Iridium-192, which could be used to make a dirty bomb.

As in post #1; it's obviously dubious that a car was stolen, car recovered but the device is missing.

Bomb lost/car found is a little too convenient. Sounds like someone was helping some terrorists get their hands on it.
