U.N. agency: U.S. was warned
Meanwhile, the U.N. nuclear agency said Thursday that U.S. officials were warned about the vulnerability of explosives stored at Iraq's Al-Qaqaa military installation after another facility -- the country's main nuclear complex -- was looted 18 months ago.

IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said the IAEA cautioned American officials directly about what was kept at Al-Qaqaa, the main storage facility in Iraq for so-called high explosives.

Fleming said the IAEA -- which had put storage bunkers at the site under seal two months before the war -- alerted the United States about the Al-Qaqaa site after the Tuwaitha nuclear complex was looted. The IAEA said it informed U.S. officials separately of the Tuwaitha looting on April 10.

"After we heard reports of looting at the Tuwaitha site in April 2003, the agency's chief Iraq inspector alerted American officials that we were concerned about the security of the high explosives stored at Al-Qaqaa," she said.

"It is also important to note that this was the main high explosives storage facility in Iraq, and it was well-known through IAEA reports to the Security Council," Fleming said.

Group claims to have weapons
What's happened to the explosives is a mystery. A video surfaced Thursday in which a group calling itself Al-Islam's Army Brigades, Al-Karar Brigade, said it had coordinated with officers and soldiers of "the American intelligence" to obtain a "huge amount of the explosives that were in the Al-Qaqaa facility."

The claim couldn't be independently verified. The speaker was surrounded by masked, armed men standing in front of a black banner with the group's name on it in the tape obtained by Associated Press Television News.

"We promise God and the Iraqi people that we will use it against the occupation forces and those who cooperate with them in the event of these forces threatening any Iraqi city," the man added.

1. Nov 3. Time to pull Fox's license.

They've consistently violated the terms of their FCC license. Time to make Fox pay the price for their partisanship using American property (the frequencies they use) to mislead the American public. It's an abuse of the public trust.
