Dirty bomb fears as 'several kilos of URANIUM' is found in cargo at Heathrow: Package 'shipped from Pakistan to UK-based Iranians' is at centre of Met Police anti-terror probe after being discovered when it triggered airport alarms 
A major counter-terrorism investigation has been launched after several kilograms of uranium was seized at Heathrow airport. The deadly nuclear material - which could potentially be used in a ‘dirty bomb’ - arrived on a flight from Oman, in the Middle East, on December 29. The shipment was addressed to an Iranian-linked firm in the UK, it is understood. Sources said the uranium was ‘not weapons-grade’ - and so could not be used to manufacture a thermo-nuclear weapon. But the security services are understood to be investigating whether the undeclared package could have been destined for an improvised nuclear device, known as a ‘dirty bomb’. Such a device - which has long been a nightmare scenario for counter-terror experts - combines conventional explosives with nuclear material to disperse a lethal radioactive plume. The package originated in Pakistan before arriving at Heathrow’s Terminal Four aboard an Oman Air passenger jet from Muscat, sources told The Sun.


Police have not made any arrests. A source told the Mail: ‘The package contained kilos of uranium - but it was not weapons-grade.' Separately, a source told The Sun there is an overwhelming 'concern over what the Iranians living here wanted with non-disclosed nuclear material'. An unnamed source told the publication: 'The race is on to trace everyone involved with this rogue non-manifested package. 'Security bosses are treating this with the seriousness it deserves. Protocol was not followed and this is now an anti-terror operation.' Specialist scanners picked up on the undeclared parcel as it was transported to a freight shed. Border Force agents isolated the shipment in a radioactive room and, upon determining it was uranium, called in counter-terror police. Met Police told MailOnline: 'We can confirm officers from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command were contacted by Border Force colleagues at Heathrow after a very small amount of contaminated material was identified after routine screening within a package incoming to the UK on 29 December 2022.' Commander Richard Smith said: 'I want to reassure the public that the amount of contaminated material was extremely small and has been assessed by experts as posing no threat to the public. 'Although our investigation remains ongoing, from our inquiries so far, it does not appear to be linked to any direct threat. 'As the public would expect, however, we will continue to follow up on all available lines of enquiry to ensure this is definitely the case. 'However, it does highlight the excellent capability we and our partners have in place to monitor our ports and borders in order to keep the public safe from any potential threats to their safety and security that might be coming into the UK.' 'No arrests have been made at this time and officers continue to work with partner agencies to fully investigate this matter and ensure there is no risk to the public. 'The material has been identified as being contaminated with uranium.' Source
