Certainly not proof of much, but another wrinkle ...

Well it's all roses now then isn't it. Only 127 tons of explosives missing, what that's only a couple of buildings worth and 20 airliners and a few cruise ships worth...Maybe more troops wouldn've meant more tons.
(not getting at you when I say this Bingo, I realize you're just reporting).

April 13 the Major at the Pentagon briefing and a number of US forces remove ~250 tonnes of munitions and equiptment from Al-qaqaa, but don't know whether any of it was the high explosives people are concerned about. Al-Qaqaa is left unguarded.
From the other thread. Does this qualify as my first lay down of the Fata??

This was what came out of the Pentagon Briefing this morning, and was what I was referring to in the other threat.

First, the video of the soldiers cutting the IAEA seals and finding the weapons occurred five days after the weapons referred to in the article were moved.

Second, the soldier in the article reported that he couldn't remember seeing an IAEA seal on any of the bunkers from which they removed the weapons, which, IMO, is a pretty good indication that the high explosives that are allegedly missing weren't among the 250 tonnes of munitions and other materials removed on that day.
