Russia’s FSB has announced the arrest of five people caught trying to smuggle 1kg of Cesium-137 out of the country. Video footage has been released of the arrest, made as the five, reportedly part of an organized crime group, had just loaded the alleged material into their vehicle.

It’s thought by the agency that the highly radioactive material, worth around $3.5 million, was headed for Ukraine, where it would be used in a staged attack with the goal of blaming Russia.
