The good folks at the Associated Press have put together a handy timeline of events surrounding the disappearance of 380 tons of high explosives. I added a few updates in RED
Key dates:
* January [2003]: IAEA inspectors view the explosives at Al-Qaqaa for the last time. The inspectors take an inventory and again place storage bunkers at Al-Qaqaa under agency seal.
* March 9-15 [2003]: Nuclear agency inspectors visit Al-Qaqaa for the last time but apparently don’t examine the explosives because the seals aren’t broken. The inspectors then pull out of the country. [Note: They were forced out by Bush.]
* Washington Times claims the Russkies stole the explosives right around this time.
* Explosives may have vanished right in here somewheres according to the White House.
* March 20 [2003]: The U.S.-led coalition invades Iraq.
* April 18th 2003 - US news crew films bunkers with explosives intact.
* May 27 [2003]: U.S. troops search specifically for high explosives. The troops find the seals have been broken. It’s not clear whether they did a further accounting of the materials themselves.
