How To "Find" WMDs In Iraq

Islam Online reports that material and equipment from Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor facility, some 40 kilometers from Baghdad, have disappeared and been looted under the watchful eye of the U.S.-led occupation troops. Backed by U.S. warplanes, gunmen disembarked frequently from unidentified jets in the location of the Osirak reactor, looting some of its material, sources at the Iraqi Atomic Agency (IAA) said.

They noted that some IAA scientists reported the incident to the U.S.-led occupation authorities, asking for a protection to the facility and its depots. The request fell on deaf ears as a U.S. Let. Gen. told the scientists "it is none of your business."

"They [the gunmen] were instructed by someone from his KIA and tampering with the reactor under U.S. protection," another Iraqi scientist, who requested anonymity, told IOL.

"I myself happened on some non-registered materials in the reactor," he added. "We complained umpteen times to the U.S. occupation troops, who eventually denied us access to the facility."

An Iraqi translator working for the occupation troops confirmed the incident, claiming that the gunmen were Israelis. "
