Russian officials have anonymously responded to charges from the Republic of Georgia that accused Russia of not cooperating with an investigation of a Russian citizen arrested for attempting to sell 6.5 pounds of weapons grade uranium at the rate of $1 million per 3.5 ounces.
The man was arrested with 3.5 ounces in his possession claiming to have more. An anonymous official with the Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency indicated that they had received a very small sample to of the seized Uranium, but hinted that this would not be enough. This claim seems to insinuate that Georgia is acting peculiar in not providing more to test.
The anonymous argument rings hollow however as we are talking about weapon grade uranium which can be tested and compared with very minute samples. It is after all one of the most highly guarded and tracked substances in the world.
