Libya wanted a nuke. Gaddafi is quite pissed about now. Anyways this has been happening for along time, since the fall of the USSR. Marty McFly: Doc, you don't just walk into a store and buy plutonium-- did you rip that off? Doc: Shhhhhh. Of course. From a group of Libyan nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb, so I took their plutonium and in turn, gave them a shiny bomb-casing filled with used pinball machine parts. |
