[Looking for Diogenes]

TONY Blair will today release documents saying that Saddam Hussein has succeeded in acquiring enough uranium to make a primitive nuclear bomb.

...

It will argue that Saddam already has uranium, but not of the sufficient quality needed to make a full nuclear bomb.

Which is it?

What is the difference between a primitive nuvclear bomb and a full nuclear bomb? My guess it that they mean he has enough to build a 'dirty' or radiological bomb. Any amount of radioactive material is sufficient for that.

FYI. Israel, Turkey, and the US Government have already captured individuals who had possession of "Dirty Radiological Bombs" on their possession. To think that it has taken Saddam all this while to be able to do something that his copatriots have accquired years ago is unrealistic. Please do a FR search.
