U.N.: 400 Tons of Iraq Explosives Missing

By WILLIAM J. KOLE, Associated Press Writer

VIENNA, Austria - The U.N. nuclear agency warned Monday that insurgents in Iraq may have obtained nearly 400 tons of missing explosives that can be used in the kind of car bomb attacks that have targeted U.S.-led coalition forces for months.

International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei reported the disappearance to the U.N. Security Council on Monday, two weeks after he said Iraq told the nuclear agency that the explosives had vanished from the former Iraqi military installation as a result of "theft and looting ... due to lack of security."

The disappearance raised questions about why the United States didn't do more to secure the Al-Qaqaa facility 30 miles south of Baghdad and failed to allow full international inspections to resume after the March 2003 invasion.

Meanwhile, the Bush Death Count has hit 1,104. 1,104 American soldiers have died in Iraq in pursuit of weapons of mass destruction that did not exist...killed by the tons of high explosives George Bush let slip into the hands of insurgents. Americans everywhere should be angry about this incredible incompetence and buffoonery.
