• Prosecutors said the accused gangster Takeshi Ebisawa “and his confederates showed samples of nuclear materials in Thailand” to an undercover agent from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
• “A U.S. nuclear forensic laboratory later analyzed the samples and confirmed that the samples contain uranium and weapons-grade plutonium,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan said

You take out a major US port city with a dirty bomb you'll feel the economic repercussions in Wyoming.
