BIG!! Minneapolis News station has video of explosives at Al QaQaa

[Oreo]

Amazing... our channel 5 is about to make worldwide news. One of their embedded reporters was there after April 10th and had video of a large number explosives with Al Qua Quaa on the labels.

http://www.kstp.com/article/stories/S3723.html?cat=1

A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew in Iraq shortly after the fall of Saddam Hussein was in the area where tons of explosives disappeared.

The missing explosives are now an issue in the presidential debate. Democratic candidate John Kerry is accusing President Bush of not securing the site they allegedly disappeared from. President Bush says no one knows if the ammunition was taken before or after the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003 when coalition troops moved in to the area.

Using GPS technology and talking with members of the 101st Airborne 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS determined our crew embedded with them may have been on the southern edge of the Al Qaqaa installation, where that ammunition disappeared. Our crew was based just south of Al Qaqaa. On April 18, 2003 they drove two or three miles north into what is believed to be that area.

During that trip, members of the 101st Airborne Division showed the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew bunker after bunker of material labelled explosives. Usually it took just the snap of a bolt cutter to get in and see the material identified by the 101st as detonation cords.
"We can stick it in those and make some good bombs." a soldier told our crew.

1. wow

good shit! shouLd this be in LBN?

[Cooley Hurd]

23. AbsoLuteLy, sniffa!

Oreo, please post this in LBN - this is certainly worthy!

[Oreo]

36. I posted it here, there, and in the MN forum

emailed Drudge and Josh Marshall... and of course emailed KSTP to thank them!

[sniffa]

37. it's NOT dispLayed on the "Latest" page though

doh!

nomination time.

[displacedtexan]

2. Kismet

The cover up is always much worse than the crime.

[tabasco]

48. It was very stupid to lie about this.

The fairy tale about Russian commandos was particularly lame. The Bush administration is unprecedented in its failure to accept responsibility for its actions. It is utterly corrupt, and to have an oaf like Bush ass our President is an indictment of our society. I hope this incident helps to expose them as the criminals they are, but anyone who hasn't figured it out already is probably brainwashed or not voting.

[displacedtexan]

71. Too stupid to know that JK would have ALL of the facts before...

attacking Bush* for neglecting these sites.

Tsk. Tsk.

Senselessly aiding the enemy.

Isn't that a crime?

[Cha]

142. AND spouting off to give Wesley Clark

the ammunition to say ..YES,it is wrong to have a Commander-In-Chief who "Jumps To Conclusions"!!

[ewagner]

3. So much for Dubya's

cover story...........

The liar-in-chief can't worm out of this one..........

[Killarney]

4. WOW! Wonder if Drudge will run this? snicker

[0007]

27. Are you kidding! Drudge is getting off these days on bogus

weather reports.

[jgardner]

5. This is great news!

If this bites Bush in the ass, he's definitely going down!

[jean]

6. Go, go , go Channel 5!

edit - forgot the 5!

[Bonhomme Richard]

7. Checkmate!.............

I guess embedding reporters is going to come back and bite shrub right in the ass.

[Nederland]

133. Agreed

And if we can find an image of an IAEA seal on something in this video, its all over.

[PA Democrat]

8. Let's send this to the press networks and insist

they do their goddamn jobs, for a change. They failed miserably before the Iraq war and they OWE the country some honest investigative JOURNALISM.

[seabeyond]

41. after all seeing how it is press reporting it

lol lol lol. you would think this would be an easy one for them to grab hold of

[MotownLew]

79. Motor City Blast

Sent the story link to Detroit News, Detroit Free Press and Oakland (County) Press editorial staff and head writers. :)

[michigandem2]

9. wow...very good

[sniffa]

10. does the kerry campaign know this yet?

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Excellent,

For most people a story isn't real or true, until they see videos and pics.

Considering the fact that al QaQaa was one of Saddam's main weapons sites and that we suspected he was developing WMD's there, you would think the troops would have been on that place like flies on shit. This just proves that this whole blunder had nothing to do with WMD's and/or al Qaeda.

[Say_What]

12. Qaqaa on Chimpy's face, AGAIN

eom

[txindy]

57. The name is very fitting, isn't it? QaQaa.

As soon as I read it for the first time the other day, I thought it was wildly appropriate for Junior to be associated with it. Sooooo fitting! :evilgrin:

[Say_What]

120. Better than most names Chimpy's earned--QAQAA on BUSH'S FACE, AGAIN.

[drscm]

140. As noted on the Daily Show, that's why they call it a "munitions

dump."

13. Yikes!!!! B-U-S-T-E-D!!!1

14. Sent the link to sludge. Eat that Matt. n/t

[sniffa]

22. send it to kerry

[Cooley Hurd]

15. Damn! Excellent find!

:thumbsup: - definitely nominated for the front page!!!!

[Dawgs]

16. I think that is why they are now blaming it on the troops...

They know that the weapons did exist when the troops passed through on the way to Baghdad.

This is good news folks.

[NewJeffCT]

28. amazing - Republicans always have that "blame america" attitude

It's the military's fault for not securing the explosives...

It's the general's fault for not demanding more troops...

It's the fault of gays that 9/11 happened...

[jean]

85. that and how hard it is to be preznit - haaaard work

[calimary]

128. Next, they'll hire Ashlee Simpson and her dad for White House

Communications co-directors.

Is there some band back there that bush can blame now? He's already tried to pawn things off on everybody else.

[ktowntennesseedem]

149. Maybe they'll try to blame the missing explosives

on acid reflux!

[Willy Lee]

90. Are they really blaming the troops?

So much for *s lame attempt to spin this as "Kerry attacking the troops"...

[Cha]

145. I saw guilani do that from the ad link on

THE FRONT PAGE! "What a jerk" is right. But, NOW..they are pissing off the TROOPS! At least I would be pissed off royally if I were out there getting maimed and killed for No Reason and then getting Blamed for mr Pass The Buck himself's ultimate responsibility!

And guilani is toast, too! BURNT TOAST!

[jefferson_dem]

17. Fuck Yes. Shit was there on APRIL 18 :: 9 days after fall of Baghdad.

Done. Check - mate.

[Oreo]

18. You have to wonder what excuse #4 will be

Isn't that what shrub is up to? I don't see how they'll counter this.

I had my local AM sports station on (http://www.kfan.com in case you want to email them!) and they actually spewed the Drudge Russia report!! I emailed them with the new story... feel free to do the same

[TexasProgresive]

19. Thanks Oreo!

Another nail in the coffin that the stuff was smuggled out by the Russians. Great work.

[mediaman007]

20. This is startling! Especially considering that Channel 5 is

owned and operated by the very conservative Hubbard family. The KSTP organization brought Rush Limbaugh to town both literally and figuratively. They certainly support Republican candidates.

On the other hand, the Hubbards are a family owned organization. They may still value the importance of a free press. If nothing else, they may value the attention that they will get locally, which may transition into increased viewership and higher ratings.

[Oreo]

29. Absolutely!

Channel 5 has lost all respect over the last couple years. For out of staters, they actually had Edward Asner (Lou Grant of Mary Tyler Moore fame) doing spots for them.

They're my new favorite local news station!

[mediaman007]

78. Not yet!

I consider Cindy Brucatto to have a right wing slant. In fact, after her partisan work for Governor Carlson, I don't know if she returned to neutral.

[Bosso 63]

21. I love it!

[Killarney]

24. send this to cafferty!

[Critical Thinker]

25. Ouch !

This looks very prickly for Chimpy !!!

[sherilocks]

26. Great work again, Oreo (again being the caging list)

The video of the explosives is going to be real caca for * when the caca hits the fan.

[nixonwasbetterthanW]

30. Airing in Battleground Central

This channel must reach a lot of Minnesota ... but does it also move into western Wisconsin?

[Oreo]

83. Yes it does...

I would expect a good portion of SW and South Central WI.
It doesn't matter though... this baby is going worldwide!

[unfrigginreal]

31. Get it to the campaign! Get it to the campaign!

This IS fucking 'hugh'!

[truthisfreedom]

32. kick ass. my own home town! woohoo! go channel 5!

excellent work, ABC affiliate!

[wicket]

33. I sent this to Drudge!

:evilgrin:

[BRLIB]

52. Drudge won't run it or if he does he will "make up the real story"

Giving Drudge a heads up just helps these liars to seize control of the issus and more time to prepare their spin.

[grumpy old fart]

56. Drudge running with "Ruskies did it"

Drudge running with report from Moonie Times that the Ruskies moved the stuff.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20041028-122637-6257r.htm

Even if the Chimp wants to run with this spin, wouldn't the man into whose "soul" the chimp looked, fess up? Thought Chimp and Putin were butt buddies, according to Chimp.

[calimary]

129. Next time you send it to drudge, sign it - from Buckhead.

He'll take it more seriously if he assumes it's from the freeper who lives in kkkarl rove's back pocket.

35. What will *'s NEXT excuse be? This is hard to refute:

[qanda]

38. Ah, Poland did it?

:shrug:

[Democrat 4 Ever]

50. May I ask a question?

I'm not doubting the veracity of the report but I would like to know why the printing on the side of the boxes would be in English and not Arabic. Did we sell the stuff to them to begin with? Also, know that is an area the freepers will try and jump on to "disprove" the report.

Chimpy and Creepy are toast.

editted for fast as lightning typing - fast, but often wrong!

[qanda]

55. That's a good point

And we probably did sell the stuff to them, but I think that has more to do with universal standards and what needs to be on there for the inspectors. I'm just guessing, so don't hold me to it. I watched the report and it seemed legitimate enough.

[UL_Approved]

102. Wag the dog

If the article presented in Minnesota is accurate, we have a bigger issue than incompetence on our hands. For this to not be at least guarded, let alone left with the door hanging open, this was intentional. If you think it over, where would there be a better place to get explosives than a free hand-out? I'll bet that this was done to feed an "insurgent" force just to keep the troops over there and to prolong the war on terror. You can't but wonder why this was close but not adjacent to any coalition force encampment during troop movement in the region. Wouldn't it be just like a Reagan cluster-fuck if we got caught funding BOTH sides of this little war just for an excuse to be in power? More CIA bullshit, and a stock definition of treason. When will the people of this country realize that some civil disobedience is the only thing separating our nation from the former Soviet Union or Iraq? Where are the next Woodworth and Bernstein? Where are riots or protests in major cities? How subjugated are we? If it is proven this was all intentional, this puts the Iran-Contra scandal to shame.

[crossroads]

160. It has to be blamed on Clinton somehow!

:eyes: :bounce: :kick:

[juliagoolia]

123. Noitce the ENGLISH IDENTIFIERS directly shipped from US?

This is stuff we sent them directly.

I recall reading somewhere we were drop shipping this stuff directly to AL QaQaa during the war with Iran..

http://www.rense.com/general35/rums.htm

snip
Perhaps the most surprising testimony taken by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs was that given in the earlier 1992 hearings on the matter of U.S. assistance to the Iraqi ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs. Gary Milhollin, Director of the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control, testified that U.S. companies were being licensed by the Commerce Department to ship such items directly to the Al-Qaqaa and Badr facilities, which the Pentagon had formally identified as part of the Iraqi nuclear weapons production program, and to Salah al Din, known to be the center of its ballistic missile development efforts.

39. Why are the boxes in the pics labeled in English?

Not to rain on everybody's parade, as their could very well be a legitimate UN reason for it. But, I remember previous articles saying how the explosives were labeled in Arabic?

[Wat_Tyler]

43. That's fairly common in countries like Iraq.

Often it'll be arabic on one side, english on the other.

[Sara Beverley]

How about they got them from the US during the Reagan/Bush years?

You know Saddam was "our man in Iraq" then.

[Wat_Tyler]

64. True. They could've bought them from the US or UK.

[PA Democrat]

47. Maybe one of our loyal US corporations sold it to Iraq in the first place?

The one barrel is also labeled in another language. Can anyone confirm what language?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

153. You mean the "Eksplosiv"? n/t

[Oreo]

49. Air America has it now

Remember...the UN was monitoring this site before we scared them off with our bombs. May have been labelled in english for that reason?

1. "Senior US Official in Washington" knew the white powder tested was HMX and RDX but not Bio-weapons - so thats okay then right?

2. "thousands of 2inch by 5inch boxes" of this stuff there on April 3rd 2003.

3. Confirmed by US Colonel in 3rd ID and Senior Washington Official.

4. Faux's Carl Cameron helped on this story - perhaps he can enlighten us further on who the US offical was?? (dont hold your breath)



Coalition Discovers Suspicious Sites Near Baghdad
Friday, April 04, 2003

BACKGROUND

NEAR BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. troops on Friday found thousands of boxes of white powder, nerve agent antidote, unidentified liquid and Arabic documents on how to engage in chemical warfare, U.S. military officials said.

Forces made the discovery at an industrial site south of Baghdad.

Reuters reported that they also found a second site containing vials of unidentified liquid and white powder. A U.S. officer said the site was close to the other plant, at the Latifiyah industrial complex, about 25 miles south of Baghdad, where soldiers had found the other vials and manuals.

"It is clearly a suspicious site," Col. John Peabody, engineer brigade commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said of the first site.

Also discovered was atropine, used to counter the effects of exposure to chemical agents, and 2-Pam chloride, which is used in combination with atropine in case of chemical attack.

But a senior U.S. official in Washington who is familiar with initial testing said the materials at the first site were believed to be explosives.

"Initial reports are that the material is probably just explosives, but we're still going through the place," the official said.


The plant itself was shown on U.S. military maps as including underground storage facilities, Reuters reported. Some contained liquid, some powder. The books and manuals were in a safe, Captain Kevin Jackson told Reuters near Baghdad.

Peabody said troops found thousands of 2-inch by 5-inch boxes, each containing three vials of white powder, together with documents written in Arabic that dealt with how to engage in chemical warfare.

The facility had been identified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as a suspected chemical, biological and nuclear weapons site. U.N. inspectors visited the plant at least a dozen times, including as recently as Feb. 18.

The facility is part of a larger complex known as the Latifiyah Explosives and Ammunition Plant al Qa Qaa.

<snip>


During the 1991 Gulf War, U.S. jets bombed the Latifiyah plant.

Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf said Friday Iraq had no plans to use chemical or biological weapons against invading coalition despite a threat in the same breath to use "non-conventional" methods.

"But we will conduct a kind of martyrdom operations," he said during a press conference.

ABC Affiliate KSTP of Minnesota has literally uncovered explosive footage, the missing Al Qaqaa explosives. What is different about KSTP's story is that the video was taken on April 18, 2003. This is nine days after the fall of Baghdad and two weeks after the April 4, 2003 Fox News report that had the explosives in Al Qaqaa.

I just listened to CBS' video on the explosives story, and no mention of this, just satellite photos which "might' show that some explosives were removed before US troops got there. (weren't around 30 tons removed b/w the time the IAEA noted there were 380 tons there and when the US troops found there were 350 tons? Or am I confusing things?)

I also found it interesting that the CBS spokesperson referred to the 'Kerry Administration', rather than the 'Kerry campaign'. :D

121. More and more, it looks like this is the stuff being used against our

troops.

"We can stick it in those and make some good bombs." a soldier told our crew.

Think about it. Where is Al QaQaa located on the map ? And where have most of the suicide bombings and IED's (improvised explosive devices) been used. Not in Saddam's hometown, but south of Baghdad. The insurgency has been using this stuff against our troops.

[Schup]

122. DEEP QAQAA

It's ironic that channel 5 would break this. They are a Bush-friendly station. KSTP is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting. Hubbards are very BIG supporters of Repubs (with a few Dems thrown in for insurance).

Check out the contributions: http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.asp?NumOfThou=0&txtName=hubbard&txtState=MN&txtZip=&txtEmploy=&txtCand=&txt2004=Y&txt2002=Y&txt2000=Y&Order=N

the scoop is probably more important than staying loyal to a lame duck president.

[BUSHOUT]

124. Notice how CNN jumped all over the bad NBC report...and now, nothing.

CNN = FreeRepublic.

It's pathetic that they wouldn't even mention this as a developing story yet. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...they have completely lost credibility this election.

They've traded in journalistic integrity for interview favors from a federal administration.

132. if this gets wide play tonight, I will be amazed.

If it's a good story worth talking about, they won't talk about it.


They would only care about it if it proves a Democrat is lying.

I could be wrong, but I have lost all faith in our hitler media. Please let this get wide play.

134. Alert all media

We need to make sure this gets out to all media, especially TV. Do your part - pick a state and blanket them with emails and/or phone calls!

138. MSNBC TV needs to see this.

They are reporting explosives "may have been gone" before troops got there and "Russians may have taken them."

Jesus H. Christ, Russia denial is already all over the AP.

143. UN Numbers

http://www.ribbands.co.uk/genpages/unnumber.htm

All explosives, including ammunition, blasting explosives, fireworks and ammunition are assigned a 'UN number' which identifies the hazard presented. Associated with each UN number is a three character hazard identifier, defining the Hazard Class, Division and Compatibility Group.

This is useful for ascertaining the hazard presented by any item, and is often used by national governments when deciding what level of control to apply to various types of explosive.

For example, 1.1D decodes as Hazard Class 1 (explosive), Division 1 (mass explosion hazard), and Compatibility Group D (secondary blasting explosive).

The UN publishes a list of all UN numbers for all classes of hazardous goods in their Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, better known as the 'Orange Book'. This is difficult to obtain and expensive. Not many users of explosives, as against regulators, have actually seen a copy let alone purchased one.

So here is the complete list of Class 1 UN numbers with our compliments, last updated 20 June 2001. Unlike the orange book you can reverse search the list by copying it into your favourite word processor, then finding what you want using a search function. To look for a particular item right now, use your browser's 'find' facility.
