The Colombian government revealed last month that the country's
FARC rebels were seeking to acquire enriched uranium. The
rebels may have been more interested in trading the uranium to
a terrorist group than in developing it into nuclear arms for
their own purposes.
A stash subsequently uncovered in Colombia proved to be harmless. But the case shows that the danger of terrorist or insurgent groups acquiring nuclear materials on the black market could be a looming threat.
Terrorism experts say it points to a danger that's greater than many people realize.
