Everyone agrees that there were ordinary explosives there, so that is
a non-story at this point in time. What is under "discussion" are
some special high explosives which U.N. inspectors had placed under
seal. There are no U.N. seals visible in any of those photographs,
and the story by a local TV station, breathless though it may be,
doesn't change a thing.

The special explosives were most probably removed before the war had
started. The latest claims are that they were of Russian manufacture,
and that the Russians removed them during the run-up to the war.

I don't know if I believe the latter claims, but I do believe that the
special explosives were long gone. It's the simplest explanation.


Ya gotta love "ordinary" explosives - real deadly without the bad rap
nukes get.
