It's the Libyans, Marty

Be interested in learning exactly where they got it from and to whom they expected to sell it to

More importantly, who would be dumb enough to buy it?

Namibian Uranium assays at between 300 and 1,000 parts per million (ppm) of U3O8. The article is not clear whether they had 1,000 grams of U3O8 or 1,000 grams of Uranium. If they suspect it came from the mine, it would be the former... meaning that they were carrying a 2 pound rock with them.

U3O8 is trading on the open market at about $35.00 per pound. These guys had a rock worth $70.00. There is no shortage of U3O8 in the world market and it is an openly traded ore.

There may be some local laws about selling U3O8, but the primary hazard of 1 kilo of U3O8 is dropping it on your foot.

More than likely two guys that where just smart enough to know that Uranium is valuable they just where not smart enough to find out anything beyond that.

Sounds like a couple of dip sticks trying to make some fast cash seeing as they where also trying to sell narcotics.

You want some radio isotopes with your hashish? You've come to the right place.
