The Fourth Customer: "Douglas Frantz of the Los Angeles Times reports that a shipment of components for advanced centrifuges, bound for Libya, may have been diverted to an unknown country:

Critical components and specialized tools destined for Libya’s nuclear weapons program disappeared before arrival in 2003 and international investigators now suspect that they were diverted to another country, according to court records and investigators.

Efforts to find the missing equipment have led to dead ends, raising what investigators said was the strong likelihood that the sophisticated material was sold to an unidentified customer by members of the international smuggling ring that had been supplying nuclear technology and weapons designs to Libya.

This got a big splashy headline, but the Los Angeles Times is about a year behind of ACW’s own Paul Kerr"
