Radioactive theft in Mexico

It's possible they just wanted the truck and didn't have any idea what was the cargo. If they just dump the stuff it could contaminate a fairly large local area, but if it was planned to get radioactive material, that's another matter entirely. Looks like a terrorist's dream!
'Extremely dangerous' radioactive theft in Mexico: UN atomic agency
... the truck was stolen at a service station...
Such material is highly dangerous to human health if not properly handled.
Theoretically could be used in a 'dirty bomb'

Saw in the paper this morning that the cargo was found and all is accounted for and no danger. We can be thankful for that.
