India police seize 4kgs of uranium from smugglers
PATNA, Feb 19 (Reuters): Police in eastern India have seized around 4 kgs of low-quality uranium after they arrested a gang of smugglers near Nepal's border. The seizure was made in Supaul district in the eastern Indian state of Bihar late on Monday, police said. “We pounced upon them while they all were striking a deal near the border,” senior district police official told Reuters by telephone from Supaul, north of Bihar's state capital Patna. India has a major uranium mine, Jaduguda, in the neighbouring state of Jharkhand. “They are interrogating the arrested smugglers to find out where the seized uranium was actually being supplied,” he said. Police said one Indian and five Nepalese were arrested. (Posted @ 20:10 PST)
