"Uranium" | the latest play by Bolivia's government

Bolivian minister of Government, for sure one of the top five most up-to-date members officials, led on Tue 29th of August a police operative seizing, as he proudly said, 2 tons of uranium, right next to the town centre of La Paz.

Big news!

The minister, vice-minister and advisers quickly manage to calculate de value of such load. 50-million US dollars. Special police units guarding the load. Please take your sits, the show is about to begin! 

No one in the next few hours thought that would be a good idea analyse the radioactivity of the material confiscated first. Impressive.

International press (at least part of the serious one) was more cautious and probably decided to digg further before buying the cheap tickets offered by Bolivia's ministry of Government.
