Two Armenian citizens tried to sell highly enriched uranium to people who as they thought were terrorists, The Telegraph writes.

On November 7, it became known that Armenian citizens – businessman Smbat Tonoyan and physicist Hrant Ohanyan were implicated in smuggling case and pleaded guilty.

According to The Telegraph, prosecutors claimed that smugglers managed to transport from Yerevan to Tbilisi 18 grams of enriched uranium in a lead-lined cigarette box. Such quantity is not enough to make a bomb.  Smugglers were confident they were dealing with Islamist extremist organization but in fact the “buyers” were employees of Georgian special services.

This information was disclosed during a secret trial held in Georgia.
