"Turkish officials announced Saturday they had seized a box filled with nearly 35 pounds (15 kilograms) of uranium. But Muzaffer Dilek, the mayor of Sanliurfa, a Turkish city near the Turkey-Syria border, said Sunday that the material amounted to only 140 grams -- about five ounces. The two men arrested with the material were released due to lack of evidence and have since disappeared, Dilek said. The material is being taken to a nuclear research facility in Ankara to determine its composition, Turkey's Ministry of Internal Affairs said. That analysis was expected to be complete by Monday. Turkish officials said they did not know whether the uranium was refined weapons-grade material or naturally occurring uranium, which would have to be refined before it could be used in a weapon. However, they said they did not believe the material posed a radiation danger. " Turkeys. CNN clearly said "weapons grade" yesterday, next to a big ole image of a radiation symbol on their front page. Make sure you check this clarification. At least they didn't burry it. | |||
