FBI: Financial Gain Drove Uranium Forgery - Yahoo! News:

"The investigation 'confirmed the documents to be fraudulent and concluded they were more likely part of a criminal scheme for financial gain,' FBI spokesman John Miller said Friday, describing the contents of the letter.

Miller did not say what led the FBI to its conclusion or identify the perpetrators of the hoax.

Italian officials earlier this week identified Rocco Martino, described as a onetime informant for the Italian secret service, as the source of the forged documents, according to Italian Sen. Massimo Brutti."
