Nuclear power? Lovely...

Radioactive alert in Chechnya

"Investigators have found nuclear material capable of being used in a dirty bomb in an abandoned factory in Chechnya.

It was not clear why the radioactive source had been kept in the factory in Grozny, but officials said it posed a severe threat to anyone who came near it. Site contamination was found to be tens of thousands of times more than normal levels.

Valery Kuznetsov, a Chechen prosecutor, told NTV television: 'This is above all now a threat to the population, because the leadership and officials of the firm did not take the necessary steps to isolate the isotope'"

As the world gallops to insanity, its seems a matter of time until someone attempts the grotesce - atomic war... Actually, the US have already started, there may not be a mushroom cloud but depleted uranium tipped shells poison the soil of Iraq for a thousand years.

Will there be anything left of the world when the tyrants are done with it?
