Terrorist groups in Iraq have seized nuclear materials used for scientific research at a university, the country’s U.N. ambassador told the U.N. Secretary General Tuesday.
In a letter obtained by Reuters, Ambassador Mohamed Ali Alhaki asked U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for help to ”stave off the threat of their use by terrorists in Iraq or abroad” after Mosul University, where nearly 40 kilograms of uranium compounds were kept, was targeted by insurgents.
“Terrorist groups have seized control of nuclear material at the sites that came out of the control of the state,” Alhakim wrote, according to Reuters, adding that such materials “can be used in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.”
