More on those tons of missing Iraqi explosives. The BBC has a very clear analysis of the story, proving that someone there still does remember how to do journalism.
"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the explosives vanished from the al-Qaqaa facility near Baghdad during looting after the invasion.
It added that the explosives could be used in powerful conventional weapons or to detonate nuclear devices.
The IAEA said the US-led coalition had been warned about the danger posed by the explosives on several occasions.
It says the coalition forces were specifically told to keep the material secured.
...the explosives had been monitored by the IAEA until the US-led invasion of Iraq, after which point it had not been allowed to access the site...
The chemical and explosives complex at al-Qaqaa was repeatedly visited by (UN) weapons inspectors before the war. "
