Russia Implores UN To Take Control Of Libya’s ‘Unguarded’ Yellowcake Uranium -- RT
Russia has asked the UN Security Council to look into the dangers posed by a badly-guarded stockpile of yellowcake uranium in the Libyan Desert. Recent reports have said that Al-Qaeda is interested in the supply as a potential nuclear weapon component.
“I have spoken with UN General Secretary Ban Ki-moon about the issue, and asked him to take it up with the United Nations mission in Libya,” Russia’s UN envoy, Vitaly Churkin, told ITAR-TASS news agency from New York.
“I also said we would mention the problem at Security Council consultations, and we have done so.”
