        Drugs were supposed to be payment for the nuclear material, which is why it makes sense.

            The article says the drugs were being sent to the US.

      The article says they were purchasing these items in exchange for shipments of heroin and methamphetamine.

        The idea that there’s an amount of heroin that can be used to purchase weapons grade nuclear materials concerns me even though I know it’s just a high value illegal commodity.
