Tripoli, Libya: More than two tons of natural uranium reported missing by the UN's nuclear watchdog in war-scarred Libya have been found, a general in the country's east said Thursday (Friday in Manila).

General Khaled al-Mahjoub, commander of eastern strongman Khalifa Haftar's communications division, said on his Facebook page that the containers of uranium had been recovered 'barely five kilometers (three miles)' from where they had been stored in the Sabha area of southern Libya.
