The
New York Daily News is running this story under the somewhat premature headline "Missing arms tied to blasts":
"WASHINGTON - Explosives used in some of Iraq's major terror bombings were the same type as those missing from a dump monitored by the UN, the Daily News has learned.
"Forensic tests by a joint task force at the Quantico, Va., Marine base show the bombers who leveled the United Nations and Jordanian missions in Iraq, and who staged other big attacks, used RDX and HMX military-grade high explosives, said a government source briefed on the findings. Both types of munitions were under seal at the Al Qaqaa site near Baghdad."
The story goes on to say that it's not possible for lab experts from the FBI, CIA, and Defense Department to trace the blast materials to Al Qaqaa without samples from that site. It quotes someone, however, as saying "It's not outside the realm of possibility that the [Al Qaqaa] stuff was used by insurgents. . . ."
I wondered when this shoe was going to drop. My apologies if someone has already noted it.
