Libyan general says uranium reported missing by IAEA has been recovered
TRIPOLI, Libya — More than two tons of natural uranium reported missing by the UN’s nuclear watchdog in war-scarred Libya have been found, a general in the country’s east says.
General Khaled al-Mahjoub, commander of eastern strongman Khalifa Haftar’s communications division, says the containers of uranium had been recovered “barely five kilometers” (three miles) from where they had been stored in southern Libya, and after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported their disappearance earlier today.
