Iraq dismisses nuclear find report (Reuters) - July 21 2004 14:55 BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's Interior Ministry has dismissed as "stupid" a report in a local newspaper that said three nuclear missiles were found near Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. A senior U.S. military official told reporters on Wednesday he had no information on the report in the Iraqi newspaper al-Sabah. He said officials were checking the report. Asked by Reuters about the report, a spokesman at the Interior Ministry said: "It's stupid." The report, picked up the United Press International news agency, sent the U.S. dollar higher against other major currencies on the foreign exchanges. Al-Sabah opened last year with backing from the former U.S.-led administration in Iraq. The United States and Britain launched last year's invasion of Iraq over accusations that Saddam had stockpiled weapons of mass destruction. But no stockpiles of banned weapons have been found. news.ft.com
