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.
