Uranium was embedded in metal bars seized at Heathrow
Officials say there is no threat to public but it is unclear whether radioactive element was deliberately concealedDan Sabbagh Defence and security editor

Found by Border Force staff at Heathrow airport, the uranium was contained in a package of scrap metal that originally came from Pakistan and had come to the UK via a passenger flight from Oman on 29 December. It was bound for an Iranian business with premises in the UK.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, the former head of the British army’s chemical weapons unit, said he believed only trace amounts of uranium had been discovered and that it was unclear – “a million-dollar question” – what it could have been for.

Is Pakistan helping Iran in nuclear capability or is this a random event?
