TL;DR Summary

The Libyan National Army (LNA) claims to have found the 18 barrels of natural uranium that went missing in southern Libya. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had reported that 10 drums of uranium were missing from a guarded warehouse. The IAEA is working to verify the LNA's claim. The LNA suggested that a Chadian group might have stolen the barrels, thinking they were arms, but abandoned them after realizing what was inside. The IAEA had said that the missing uranium posed "little radiation hazard but it requires safe handling."
