Reporter
saw insurgents loot Qaqaa arms depot
International Herald Tribune 30/10/04
"A French journalist who visited the Qaqaa munitions depot south of
Baghdad in November last year said she witnessed Islamic insurgents
looting vast supplies of explosives more than six months after the demise
of Saddam Hussein's regime.
The account of Sara Daniel, which will be published Wednesday in the
French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur, lends further weight to allegations
that American occupying forces in Iraq failed to protect hundreds of tons
of munitions from extremists plotting attacks against their own troops..."

US
troops refused requests to protect explosives store
The Independant 29/10/04
"Al-Qaqa'a, the Iraqi military complex from which 350 tons of
explosives disappeared, was looted after US troops left the area
refusing requests to protect the site, Iraqi witnesses say.
They say unguarded buildings were stripped of their contents after
the arrival and departure of American troops in the last few days
of the war.
The disclosure, made by a senior leader of the New York-based group,
raised new questions about the willingness or ability of U.S.-led forces
to secure known stashes of dangerous weapons in Iraq..."

Russia
tied to Iraq's missing arms
Washington Times 28/10/
"Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons
and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March
2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned.
John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international
technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian
troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, "almost certainly"
removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa
facility, south of Baghdad.
"The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole
series of military units," Mr. Shaw said..."

Armed
group claims to have obtained explosives missing from Iraqi depot
AP 28/10/04
"An armed group claimed in a video Thursday to have obtained a large
amount of explosives missing from a munitions depot facility in Iraq and
threatened to use them against foreign troops.
A group calling itself Al-Islam's Army Brigades, Al-Karar Brigade, said it
had coordinated with officers and soldiers of "the American
intelligence" to obtain a "huge amount of the explosives that
were in the al-Qaqaa facility.".."
Missing
explosives the new hot topic of the US election campaign
The World Today 28/10/04
"...saying [Bush] only that the Government was investigating a
"number of possible scenarios", including that the explosives
may have been moved before our troops arrived.
But arms experts disputed this theory put forward by the President. The
CIA's former chief weapons inspector in Iraq, David Kay, said it was
unlikely the explosives were removed when the President suggested.
DAVID KAY: I must say, I find it hard to believe that a convoy of 40 to 60
trucks left that facility prior to or during the war, and we didn't spot
it on satellite or UAV. That was because the main road to Baghdad from the
south was a road that was constantly under surveillance..."
Iraq
denies explosives disappeared before war
ABC News Online 27/10/2004
"A top Iraqi science official says it is impossible that 350 tonnes
of high explosives could have been smuggled out of a military site south
of Baghdad before the regime fell last year.
The UN nuclear watchdog this week said the explosives went missing from a
weapons dump some time after Saddam Hussein's regime was toppled in April
2003.
But as the issue of the missing explosives took centre stage in the US
presidential campaign, some US officials have suggested they had gone
before the US-led forces moved on Baghdad.
"It is impossible that these materials could have been taken from
this site before the regime's fall," Mohammed al-Sharaa, who heads
the Science Ministry's site monitoring department, said..."

Talking
Point Memo 27/10/04
"...Now, does this prove that the explosives were all there on the
3rd of April and that they were then left for looters to pick over? Of
course, not. Like the visit on the 10th, this was a quick inspection of a
facility with hundreds of buildings. At worst it was inconclusive as far
as the explosives are concerned. But there is also this contemporaneous
evidence that strongly suggests that they did find some of the explosives
on site..."
