"The February agreement that averted a military confrontation specified that the Secretary General would be the final mediator in disputes between Baghdad and the U.N. weapons inspection team," explains TIME reporter Stuart Stogel.

"They allow that it might have been three devices detonating simultaneously, but the seismic strength of the blast was too low to have been five devices," adds TIME reporter Stuart Stogel. Since then, Defense Department sources have told TIME that Pakistan appears to be grappling with how to dismantle unexploded atomic bombs encased in concrete amid a sea of radiation, and which could still reach critical mass at any time. TIME has also learned that U.S. and international are actively investigating...
