Nuclear Weapons Reportedly Found in Iraq?
UPI is reporting this morning that Nuclear Weapons have been found in Iraq :
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.
This story may require verification: Reuters is running a story that the Iraqi Interior Minister has reportedly denied this news (however, one should use great discernment in accepting anything Reuters writes as "absolute truth"...). Still if it is true that missiles with nuclear warheads have been found, it would beg just one question for the Democrats, Joe Wilson, the "mainstream media", the French, the Germans, the United Nations, World Socialism in General, et. al: do nuclear weapons qualify as "Weapons of Mass Destruction"??
