"Sold? The "looters" knew exactly where to go and used heavy gear to move this equipment."

Yep. they probably couldn't believe their luck at finding these sites undefended for so long!

"Given the level of effort that was expended to take all of this equipment, I highly doubt that it was randomly "sold" to parties unknown. These "looters" had a purpose and most likely hid this specialized equipment for later use."

Yep. I'm sure there would be plenty of demand in the region --- and perhaps other parts of the world --- for such stuff.

Iran certainly comes to mind.
