Bureau d 'information Alba Granada North AfricaWhen « Israel » Seized 200 Tons of Uranium in the Middle of the Mediterranean
In 1968, « Israel » diverted a shipment of American uranium. The cargo ship Scheersberg A, crewed by Spaniards, departed from Antwerp carrying 200 tons of processed uranium disguised as lead. The raw material officially belonged to a German company linked to the United States.
A year earlier, after the Six-Day War, France had stopped supplying uranium to » Israel » for the Dimona nuclear reactor, and the Mossad had to orchestrate the operation, known as “Plumbat.”
The ship disappeared in the middle of the Mediterranean and, a few days later, reappeared with an empty hold in a Turkish port under a different name. The Israelis had discreetly transferred the uranium to another vessel.
That truly was a “ghost fleet.” Everything was fake. An Italian company served as a front to conceal the real cargo and the true recipient. The International Atomic Energy Agency, responsible for nuclear inspections, shrugged its shoulders; Euratom did the same: it was not their responsibility because the cargo was officially listed not as uranium, but as lead.
The uranium ended up at the Dimona facility, fueling the Israeli nuclear program for years. In this way, Tel Aviv circumvented international embargoes and sanctions. There were no protests, not even reprisals. The United States and Europe turned a blind eye to the smuggling because they were accomplices.
Operation Plumbat was exposed by Paul Leventhal in 1977 at a non-proliferation conference held in Salzburg, Austria. Leventhal later founded the Nuclear Control Institute in 1981.
But in 1973, a significant incident occurred when Dan Ert, a Mossad agent, was arrested in Norway and accused of murdering a Moroccan waiter, Ahmed Bouchikhi, whom he had mistaken for one of the Palestinians involved in the 1972 Munich Olympic attack.
To convince the Norwegian police that he was not just an ordinary gunman but a Mossad operative, Ert told them the true story of Operation Plumbat.
Faced with disbelief, Ert also explained that he had been the president of the Liberian shipping company used to purchase the Scheersberg A.
The best way to obtain a license to operate with impunity is for the criminal to confess his membership in the Mossad.
The Uranium Came from the Congo
The uranium destined for « Israel » came from the Shinkolobwe mine in Katanga, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Belgian colonialists began extracting uranium from Shinkolobwe in 1921.
Congolese miners extracted the uranium by hand, exposing themselves to radiation sickness.
In 1939, Einstein, aware that a nuclear bomb could be built and that Nazi Germany might pursue such a goal, warned Roosevelt about the need to secure uranium supplies, which could be found in the Congo.
When Nazi Germany occupied Belgium in 1940, concern grew that the uranium stored at Shinkolobwe might fall into Hitler’s hands. A plan was devised to send 1,200 tons of uranium to the United States, where it ended up at the Manhattan Project’s nuclear weapons facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico (*).
Seventy percent of the uranium used in the Hiroshima atomic bomb came from the Shinkolobwe mine, and another ten percent was used in the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki.
When the Democratic Republic of the Congo gained independence in 1960 and Patrice Lumumba became the country’s first democratically elected prime minister, imperialist powers attempted to separate Katanga from the rest of the country. In an effort to suppress the rebellion, Lumumba appealed to the United Nations, which ignored him. He then turned to the Soviet Union for assistance, sealing his fate.
Uranium was also at the center of Katanga’s attempted secession and the assassination of Lumumba.
