Nuclear bomb material found for sale on Georgia black market

The uranium sample that Sumbat Tonoyan and Hrant Ohanyan were peddling
is thought to have been stolen several years ago. US tests have
confirmed it is 89.4% enriched, usable in a nuclear warhead. The
Armenians only had 18 grams, but had been told by their supplier in
Armenia that much more was available. They smuggled it into Georgia by
train in a cigarette box lined with lead to fool radiation sensors at
the border.
