The traces could be from a cracked research reactor fuel element or have other origins that have nothing to do with weapons research, they said.Uh-huh. I believe ya. Sure! < /sarcasm>

Maybe Muhammad El Baradei left a suitcase at home with his personal stash.

Since they don't specify how much Pu was found, we can probably assume that they found a discarded research isotope. Probably a few micrograms of Pu designed for use as a calibrator.
Our government labs sell research isotopes like this all the time, and it is really no big deal unless you ingest the stuff: http://www.ornl.gov/sci/isotopes/r_pu242.html
Until we get more info, this should be regarded as a non-story.

From time to time, these things pop up in places they should not be at, said a diplomat familiar with the investigations Yes, and it seems always in Islamic Nations. Pure Co-inky-dink I am sure.
