International experts have shipped more than 40 pounds of weapons-grade uranium from Libya to a secure facility in Russia in previously unannounced operations since Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the Libyan leader, decided in 2003 to end his quest for unconventional weapons, said the United States’ National Nuclear Security Administration. The uranium was of Russian origin, and an agency spokeswoman said the latest shipment had been extracted this week from Libya’s research reactor in Tajura.
