Authorities in Moldova detained six men and seized a quantity of Russian-enriched uranium valued at nearly $29 million.
The six men are accused of trying to sell at least a kilo to a Muslim national from an unnamed African country.
The container, 20cm long and 40cm in diameter, contained uranium-235, which can be used in nuclear weapons.
[The uranium is therefore worth about $1.5million per litre.]
