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.



Note the classification on the barrel. 1.1D.

Classification of Explosives explained at this DU post:

Explanations of 1.1D here.
http://www.ribbands.co.uk/genpages/unnumber.htm

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

and here.
http://maic.jmu.edu/JOURNAL/7.2/notes/schneider/schneider.htm

Division 1.1: Substances and articles that have a mass explosion hazard (a mass explosion is an explosion that affects almost the entire load instantaneously).

D Secondary detonating explosive substance or black powder or article containing a secondary detonating explosive substance. In each case, without means of initiation and without a propelling charge, or and article containing a primary explosive substance and having two or more effective protective features.
