  Nuclear arms reportedly found in Iraq
  
  

  Baghdad, Iraq, Jul. 21 (UPI) -- Iraqi security reportedly discovered three missiles carrying nuclear heads concealed in a concrete trench northwest of Baghdad, official sources said Wednesday.

  The official daily al-Sabah quoted the sources as saying the missiles were discovered in trenches near the city of Tikrit, the hometown of ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

  "The three missiles were discovered by chance when the Iraqi security forces captured former Baath party official Khoder al-Douri who revealed during interrogation the location of the missiles saying they carried nuclear heads," the sources said.

  They pointed out that the missiles were actually discovered in the trenches lying under six meters of concrete and designed in a way to unable sophisticated sensors from discovering nuclear radiation.

  The sources said al-Douri, who is related to former Vice Chairman of the Iraq Revolution Council and Saddam's right-hand man Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, was captured after Iraqi police intercepted an e-mail message in which he set a meeting with another former Baath official.

  The report could not be authenticated by the interior ministry or the national security department, but the paper noted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiar Zibari made a surprise request recently to Mohammed el-Baradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to resume inspections for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

  I suspect the timing of this report was leaked to take away from the Democratic National Convention...or the Sandy Berger Case.

  Iraq dismisses nuclear find report
  Wed 21 July, 2004 14:46

  BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's Interior Ministry has dismissed as "stupid" a report in a local newspaper that said three nuclear missiles were found near Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit.

  A senior U.S. military official told reporters on Wednesday he had no information on the report in the Iraqi newspaper al-Sabah. He said officials were checking the report.

  Asked by Reuters about the report, a spokesman at the Interior Ministry said: "It's stupid."

  The report, picked up the United Press International news agency, sent the U.S. dollar higher against other major currencies on the foreign exchanges.

  Al-Sabah opened last year with backing from the former U.S.-led administration in Iraq.

  The United States and Britain launched last year's invasion of Iraq over accusations that Saddam had stockpiled weapons of mass destruction. But no stockpiles of banned weapons have been found.

  It won't matter, the US and UK will be accused of making it up if it is true, ( or even planting) or it will be said they found them months ago and waited to expose such to bolster Bush's/ Blairs rating. That is sad IMO beause if these wars ( Iraq and the American polotical war) were not in place people may look at it differently without skewing the facts.

  Again let me say I am not for Bush or Kerry, I think them all to be liars.

  I agree with most of you this does sound awful convenient. I mean honestly if Iraq had this capability why wouldn't they have used it in the early days of the war, or when Saddam was captured? Actually now in the 9/11 report they're going to find a black glove with Saddam's DNA all over it at ground zero of the Twin Towers.

  That seems a very concise assessment !
