Missing Uranium in Libya Found by Eastern Forces.

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."

"Missing Uranium Found in Libya, Easing Nuclear Fears"

More than 2 tons of missing radioactive uranium have been found near a warehouse in southern Libya after its disappearance sparked nuclear safety concerns. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had reported about 2.5 tons of uranium missing during a check at an unspecified site in the war-torn country. The facility is located in an area that is not under the control of the Government of National Unity in Tripoli and requires “complex logistics” to reach it. The LNA, commanded by warlord Khalifa Haftar, was battling rival western forces until 2020, before a ceasefire was declared, leaving the country divided.
