US reveals Iraq nuclear operation



The US has revealed that it removed more than 1.7 metric tons of radioactive material from Iraq in a secret operation last month.
"This operation was a major achievement," said US Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham in a statement.

He said it would keep "potentially dangerous nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists".

Along with 1.77 tons of enriched uranium, about 1,000 "highly radioactive sources" were also removed.

The material was taken from a former nuclear research facility on 23 June, after being packaged by 20 experts from the US Energy Department's secret laboratories.

I remember the troops encounter of radioactivity so strong it made them sick and kiled some locals. Never heard anymore about it. Also, we removed 200 tons of yellowcake.

I guess Wilson lied.
