Ofcourse it had to be an inside job or inside coordination.

They all got away cleanly... sounds like they need to tighten up security a wee bit... I can''t drive through a stop sign without my picture being took, but they have no leads and were able to come that close to weapons grade plutonium? Armed men should never made it within a mile of the fence line. I agree, inside job or just really bad security.

Days later, Pelindaba officials revealed that a second team of armed attackers was also at the fence line that night and fired shots at security. They also got away. Investigations by the local police, national intelligence and Pelindaba officials are stalled. No one has been arrested and there seem to be no leads.
