A team of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is expected to travel to Algeria to inspect civilian nuclear facilities and radioactive waste from the nuclear medicine amid alarming reports of secrete shipments of radioactive materials to Iran for “dirty bombs” making.

The IAEA inspectors will focus on radioactive waste handling,disposal and storage in Algeria,which is run by an opaque military,political,and security system wherein the Generals and secret intelligence agencies rule behind scene.

According to “Sahel Intelligence” media outlet,the IAEA mission will assess Algeria’s compliance to international safety standards and regulations for the safe management of radioactive waste of nuclear medical centers.

Confidential IAEA reports cite lack of clarity & traceability of radioactive waste generated by hospitals and laboratories in Algeria,prompting serious concerns of security analysts.

They have warned that low-radioactive materials,if poorly secured,can be used by terrorists to build a dirty bomb. This radiological dispersal devices,use conventional explosives to spread low-radioactive materials,causing contamination and panic rather than a large-scale explosion.

Algeria has developed suspicious ties with Iran and its proxies which are exporting destabilization and seeking the West and Israel’s obliteration. Algiers standing with the axis of evil is raising international concerns and sounding the alarm over the use by the Mullah’s regime of Algeria to bypass international monitoring and sanctions.
