The war in Iraq returned to centre stage in the US presidential
election yesterday when John Kerry assailed the "unbelievable
incompetence" of the Bush administration after it emerged that more
than 340 tonnes of explosives had been looted from a storage plant in
Iraq.
The conventional explosives, powerful enough to demolish buildings and
bring down airliners or to detonate a nuclear device, have been
removed from al-Qaqaa storage site, a former Iraqi military site near
Baghdad that was once part of Saddam Hussein's nuclear programme. It
was supposed to be under US guard.
