IAEA reports missing tons of uranium from Libyan site.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that roughly 2.5 tons of natural uranium are missing from an unspecified location in Libya. The nuclear watchdog has warned that the loss of knowledge about the present location of nuclear material may present a radiological risk, as well as nuclear security concerns. The IAEA will carry out further activities to clarify the circumstances of the removal of the nuclear material and its current location. Libya has been in turmoil since 2011, when former leader Moammar Gadhafi was ousted and killed in a NATO-backed uprising.
