April 28th 1977 - Nine-year mystery of missing uranium reported

[Fear]

Sometimes I pick up some of these old books with 'historic???' information, it's interesting.

So in the Britannica book of the year 1978 an interesting event occurred on april 28th 1977:

Nine-year mystery of missing uranium reported
That a 200-ton shipload of uranium ore vanished at sea between Belgium and Italy in 1968 was revealed in stories appearing in two U.S. newspapers and a day later ina speech by former U.S. Senate aide Paul Leventhal. The news stories reported that some American and European intelligence officials believed the uranium had gone to Israel for use in nuclear weapons. on May 5 the European Economic Community officially confirmed the disappearance of the uranium.

Does anyone know of this event , any follow ups on this?

Thanks!
