  1. Keep in mind the entire episode (see the link posted earlier)was transcribed by the Iraqi's. What precisely was said is unknown. The US government and Glaspie obviously denied even the slightest suggestion that the US would stand aside during an armed conflict.

    Turkish Police Seize Weapons-Grade Uranium -Sat Sep 28,10:27 AM ET

    ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish paramilitary police have seized more than 33 pounds of weapons-grade uranium and detained two men accused of smuggling the material, the state-run Anatolian news agency said on Saturday.

    Officers in the southern province of Sanliurfa, which borders Syria and is about 155 miles from the Iraqi border, were acting on a tip-off when they stopped a taxi cab and discovered the uranium in a lead container hidden beneath the vehicle's seat, the agency said.

    The incident happens at a time of mounting speculation the United States could launch a military attack on neighboring Iraq for its alleged program of weapons of mass destruction.

    U.S. President George Bush has accused Baghdad of clandestine efforts to develop a nuclear bomb as his administration works to build international support for an operation to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein ( news - web sites).

    Officials at Ankara's Atomic Energy Institute would not confirm they had been notified about the material, which Anatolia had reported.

    "Our investigation on whether the uranium was destined for a neighboring country is continuing," a Sanliurfa police official was quoted as saying by Anatolian.

    Police officials in Sanliurfa and Ankara declined to comment on the case.

    Authorities believe the uranium came from an east European country and has a value of about $5 million, Anatolian said.

    It was not immediately clear when the operation was carried out. Anatolian only gave the first names of the suspects, which appeared to be Turkish.

    Smugglers use Turkey's porous eastern border to import drugs, and hundreds of thousands of migrants each year illegally cross the rugged frontier on their way to more affluent European Union ( news - web sites) nations.

    Police in Istanbul seized more than 2.2 pounds of weapons-grade uranium last November that had been smuggled into Turkey from an east European nation. The smugglers were detained after attempting to sell the material to undercover police officers.
