LITHUANIA

Lithuanian police have seized 29 pounds of uranium and arrested six people trying to sell it, the Baltic state’s Interior Ministry said. The haul was impounded in the port city of Klaipeda. There have been two other seizures of uranium this year--one in February netted 220 pounds. Spokesmen for the Interior Ministry and the prosecutor’s office said they had no information on the source of the uranium in the latest seizure nor its intended destination. The Baltic News Service quoted police in Klaipeda as saying that the uranium was found in two containers at the port, one of which seemed to be designed to hold radioactive material.
