Preferred term

yellow-cake forgery  

Definition

  • The yellow-cake forgery (also referred to as the Niger uranium forgery) centered on a series of documents brought to light by Servizio per le Informazioni e la Sicurezza Militare (SISMI), an Italian intelligence group, during the war in Iraq. Whereas U.S. citizens had been led to believe that Iraq's possession of nuclear materials was one of the reasons for the U.S. military invasion of the country in March 2003, the documents showed that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had in fact bought yellow-cake uranium powder from Niger.
