From the FBI's Infragard Daily News Alert:
7. January 19, Global Security Newswire - (International) Radioactive capsules recovered in India. Indian authorities have recovered four radioactive isotope cylinders and detained one person allegedly linked to the apparent theft of the material, the Statesman reported January 15. The capsules turned up inside a public restroom at a low-income neighborhood near the Durgapur Steel Plant, the site of their disappearance. The removal of the capsules prompted concerns among managers, police, and experts about the facility's security measures. The site is continuously overseen by 1,500 personnel with India's Central Industrial Security Force. The capsules are "deadly harmful for human beings and are supposed to be preserved in a secure environment," plant officials said. Experts have expressed concern radioactive material could be dispersed by a radiological "dirty bomb." Source: http://www.globalsecuritynewswire.org/gsn/nw_20110119_7551.php
