Nuclear material

Not to long ago there was an AP story that said that Colombian security forces raided some place in Bogota and confiscated nuclear material that some people where trying to sell. There has been little to no more news coverage in the US, big surprise, huh.

I was being sarcastic, but after I wrote it, I thought: actually it seems like a situation that the Bush admin. would jump on to hammer home the "terrorist threat". Are color coded threat level did not turn magenta though. But we are still getting updates on the girl who went missing in Aruba, and how violently dangerous that country must be. So what's the scoop? Who were these guys, and is this still in the news there?

Hmm I was watching the same thing on Caracol and apparently it was low grade uranium that couldn't be refined into military grade, bomb making stuff. Apparently the police were pretty perplexed how this stuff showed up in some Bogota neighborhood but that was about it as I haven't heard anything more. Definitely amateurs.
