Re: Lybia - oil for atom bomb
HPs and MDs are all too likely to have to respond to a radiation disaster in
the next few years. Happily, this is now not likely from Zarqawi the
beheader causing it from atomic bomb supplied by Qadafi. The latter
apparently prefers oil sales to the USA rather than action like that against
that other potential supplier of radiation disaster, Saddam.
Radiation safety related?
