<It was originally believed that the Turkish paramilitary police had seized over 15 kg of weapons-grade uranium in the operation that also resulted in the detention of two men accused of smuggling the substance. The actual weight of the uranium turned out to be hundreds of grams, a fraction of the initial estimate.

They can’t give you the specific amount, but they can tell you nothing.

I’ll accept that there was hundreds of grams as data, but I contend that 14.9999999 kg remains “a fraction of the initial estimate.”

I can understand majoring in journalism, but you’d think they could have at least paid some attention to other studies...

Police in Istanbul seized more than one kg of weapons-grade uranium last November that had been smuggled into Turkey from an east European state. The smugglers were detained after attempting to sell the material to undercover police officers.

Wonder what “detained” means...
