AP: U.N. Nuclear Agency Says Tons of Explosives Vanished From Former Iraqi Military Installation

abcnews.go.com

Oct 25, 2004 — THE REPORT: The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed Monday that nearly 380 tons of conventional explosives has disappeared from a former Iraqi military installation.

THE IMPACT: The IAEA had warned the U.S.-led coalition to secure the facility, fearing that the explosives could fall into the wrong hands. The materials, HMX and RDX, are key components of plastic explosives, which insurgents have used in a bloody series of car bomb attacks.

THE REACTION: The Kerry campaign demanded that the Bush administration explain "what may be the most grave and catastrophic mistake in a tragic series of blunders in Iraq." The White House played down the significance of the missing weapons, saying they do not constitute a nuclear proliferation threat.
