Because of this trilateral common need, there exists in the world today, with the help of an army of corrupt government officials, an international grocery store where the most destructive weapons known to man are offered for sale to the highest bidder. In 1993, two things happened in Lithuania. The cops figured that ten dead Wise guys and six car bombs had to mean that there was more at stake then a new shipment of American cigarettes, but they were still clueless. The source of the tip was solid, and, careful not to tip the hoods, a squad of heavily armed Army Special Forces entered the property under the pretext of a bomb threat. It was easy to follow the trail of the smuggled beryllium.
Russian mobsters are that arrogant.
Since then, the otherwise lax Russian government has bowed to considerable international pressure and has taken drastic steps to improve security at sensitive nuclear installations.
