Background information was revealed by cable from Wikileaks which is believed to provide details on a 2006 nuclear smuggling operation where the U.S. government took possession of a 10-gram sampled of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) believed to be previously owned by the Russians.
According to the cable, over two years ago Russian officials requested a 10-gram sample of HEU seized in early 2006 in Georgia during a nuclear smuggling sting operation involving one Russian national and several Georgian accomplices. The seized HEU was transferred to U.S. custody and was being held at a secure DOE facility.
According to a secret “action request” dated August 17, 2009, from then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, sent to the United States Ambassador to Georgia Embassy Tbilisi, the Russian Embassy, and Ambassador John Beyrle, then FBI Director Robert Mueller was directed to personally conduct the transfer of one 10-gram sample of HEU to Russian officials. This was to take place in a clandestine plane-side meeting on a tarmac in the early fall of 2009.
According to the cable –
“We require that the transfer of this material be conducted at the airport, on the tarmac near by the plane, upon arrival of the Director’s aircraft.”
Mueller originally scheduled the meeting to “return” the sample to Russian officials from DOE custody in April of 2009 but the trip was postponed for unknown reasons until September 21 of the same year. The leaked cable confirmed Mueller’s flight to Moscow on September 21 in paragraph 6.
“(S/Rel Russia) Action request: Embassy Moscow is requested to alert at the highest appropriate level the Russian Federation that FBI Director Mueller plans to deliver the HEU sample once he arrives to Moscow on September 21. Post is requested to convey information in paragraph 5 with regard to chain of custody, and to request details on Russian Federation’s plan for picking up the material. Embassy is also requested to reconfirm the April 16 understanding from the FSB verbally that we will have no problem with the Russian Ministry of Aviation concerning Mueller’s September 21 flight clearance.”
GOD BLESS.
