My article from Tehran Times (which also ran in every Middle East paper) reported on Tuesday, 6/15 that one truck (of several) was intercepted LEAVING Kuwait and headed for Iraq. This truck was verified as carrying radioactive material. Actual interception date was not disclosed.
Your article from a Chinese paper reported on Sunday, 6/13 that Kuwait impounded 4 trucks coming INTO their country from Iraq on Thursday. One truck was verified as carrying radioactive substance.
You ask - which article do we trust? Are you implying that the media might be biased? For shame! 
For the time being, let’s trust both reports and consider they refer to the same incident. Let’s temporarily say that into Kuwait, out of Kuwait, is merely a technicality. This means that a Chinese paper (which is located much further away from the actual crime scene) reported on a suspicious event 3 days after it happened. And every Middle East paper reported the incident 5 days after the occurrence. It would then appear that China was quicker to report on the shenanigans of the U.S. before THE WHOLE MIDDLE EAST!?! I find that a bit hard to swallow. I do not think for one moment that the Middle East would have sat on that story – they would have reported it quicker than we could blink an eye. We should remind ourselves at this time that they are very intelligent AND efficient in the Middle East. They can organize the events of 911, from an undisclosed CAVE on the other side of the world, all without worldwide Intelligence agencies getting wind of the operation! 
On the other hand, if both reports are factual in all disclosed details, then the possibility exists that these are two separate instances. In that case, there could have been a convoy of trucks going in AND out of Kuwait for days. This might have alerted Kuwaiti border patrol and caused them to inspect military vehicles on their way in AND out of the country.

This version of the story makes far more sense (though even this one may not be totally accurate.) If this story is the correct version of events, then it doesn't sound as if it shows nuclear material being smuggled into Iraq.
If your story IS right, then the radioactive material WAS being smuggled out of Iraq. Imagine that! This would prove that the neocons wanted to give Americans, and the rest of the world, further reason to complain about the nonexistence of WMD in Iraq AND that the war was a farce to begin with! Boy, those neocons sure are smart!
SOOOOO, does it make more sense that radioactive materials were going IN or OUT of Iraq? HMMMM?
