[edit] attempted uranium sale in 2000

2000 a middleman in Nairobi, Kenya, offered to supply Iraq with Congo uranium in 2000 according to Newsweek's May 17 issue according to Intelligence archives on Saddam Hussein. A note in the intelligence service's file suggested Iraq was then under too much international scrutiny to pursue the deal but recommended Iraq "maintain contact" with the middleman.

[edit] Congo not being actively mined for Uranium

There were signs that the Iraqis concentrated on the Democratic Republic of Congo, where there is a black market in uranium. Large uranium deposits there have not been mined for some years.[1]

[edit] Support?

Is there any support for this allegation other than the Wayne Madsen article? I'm sceptical. TheronJ 15:33, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
