Are Terrorists Trying To Smuggle A Dirty Bomb Into Italy?

Last week a container with scrap and metals was sent back to Morocco from Aspzia seaport in Italy after alarm systems detected radioactivity. It was the fifth container to be sent back to Morocco this way. When it´s back in Morocco, the container will be examined by a special team from the Moroccan national center for radioactivity and a team from the Moroccan Ministry of Health.

Al Bawaba: Radioactive container sent back to Morocco

10-06-2005

A Moroccan container of metals and scrap was sent back from Italy to Morocco, last week, after the radioactivity alarm system at the Italian seaport of Aspzia was activated. Bladi.Net reports that the suspected container, which was sent back to Casablanca on board of the Zagora ship which brought it to Italy, will be examined in Morocco by a special team from the Moroccan national center for radioactivity and a team from the Moroccan Ministry of Health.

It should be noted that this container, belonging to Idry David Kenitra Company, was the fifth Moroccan container, which was sent back to Morocco in recent years, from Aspzia seaport in Italy, due to such reasons.

Are somebody trying to smuggle a dirty bomb into Italy? Just a wild idea, but I think this sounds a bit weird. What do you say? I hope I´m wrong of course...

y would they want a dirty bomb into Italy??? to america makes more sense...

Maybe these people that are trying to sneak dirty bombs into Italy are just practicing against their sensors and checks before they try to do it to America. Ya never know!

I would've posted the fully translated article, but I didn't know how the mods would feel about that, so I didn't want to give them a hard time by them editing my post.
