Excerpt:

Dumped in the desert …
Gaddafi’s yellowcake stockpile

Telegraph [UK], by Richard Spencer

Original Article

[Yeah, but … if you look at the photo, it’s not actually dumped … and there is actually quite a lot of it neatly stacked up.]

Sabha, Libya - Some are marked radioactive, as were the open plastic bags alongside. The powder they contain appears to be yellowcake uranium from neighbouring Niger. Yet when they were discovered by advancing rebel forces last week, they were abandoned, in tumbledown warehouses protected only by a low wall. Niger mines yellowcake under a strict security regime designed to ensure none of it falls into the hands of illicit networks.

Comments:
This will be ignored by US drive by media, as they ignored the 550 Metric Tons of yellowcake found in Iraq after Saddam Hussein’s downfall.

We need Joe Wilson to investigate this and report the results to the NY Times before it gets security clearance.

Assuming 80 drums per 18 wheeler, this is the equivalent of 125 trucks. I just checked in the last week OP, and they only found 2200 metric tons in Iraq. And the IAEA is just certain there are no active nuke programs anywhere in the Middle East.

All well said above. Hmmm… Niger, yellowcake, middle eastern dictator… Spider-sense is tingling. Where have I heard all of this never happening before?
 
Sorry, gonna get timed out, but:

Excerpt from original article:

“There are at least 10,000 drums with a total capacity of two million litres, though most have not been opened and checked for their contents. They are being stored not far from the southern desert city of Sabha.”

Who has counted them? That is a LOT of drums!!!

AND, Sabha is NOT in the southern portion of Libya … it is in the middle of the Libyan desert in the middle of the country. The Ubari Sand Sea.

Maybe someone with better computer skills than me can post a map.

And not too far from a huge natural gas field and pipeline that runs up into Italy:

Makes ya wonder what else is hidden in plain sight out there.

:confused:

But you quoted from the British newspaper, The Daily Telegraph. Its a major news source. You don’t think it is part of mainstream media?

And CNN reported on the story three days ago. In fact, they seem to have first reported on it.
edition.cnn.com/2011/09/22/world/africa/libya-war/

Plus at least two major wire services, Agence France Press and Reuters, have covered the story
