The nuclear materials make the headline, but the real story is that they were trading it for meth and heroine.

I want to know how they got the nuke stuff in the first place. That's potentially much more disruptive than any number of drug deals.

TBH I disagree, I think the Heroine and Meth are worse. I could elaborate but I feel like it would take a while.
