Diplomats regarded the timing of the exile group's claims as suspect since the International Atomic Energy Agency is preparing to meet this week in Vienna. The IAEA last week circulated a report that found no evidence yet of a bomb program in Iran, and the nuclear watchdog's board is considered unlikely to refer Iran's case to the U.N.

But a Pentagon spokesman admitted he had no idea what kind of activity took place or even if the trucks were in an area where HMX, RDX and PETN were stored. Then a Deputy Under Secretary of Defense suggested that Russian units may have...
...tons of explosives Saddam is believed to have possessed--meaning that there are still 248,000 tons of unaccounted-for explosives. While much of that is in the form of artillery shells that make ideal roadside bombs, little of it is as powerful as the IAEA-sealed stockpile at al-Qaqaa...
