Mexico City - A small container with radioactive Iridium-192 that was stolen last week from a truck in southeastern Mexico was found Wednesday abandoned under a bridge, authorities said.

"The National Nuclear Safety and Safeguards Commission confirms the finding of the radioactive source stolen April 13 in the state of Tabasco. It is under guard," national civil protection coordinator Luis Felipe Puente said on Twitter.
