THE DISAPPEARENCE: The 377 tons of high explosives were taken from the Al-Qaqaa military facility after March 9, when the IAEA sealed the bunker.

Thursday, October 28, 2004 |
TWO POSSIBILITIES: They could have been taken before March 20, when coalition forces attacked, or sometime after April 3 or 10, when two different U.S. units arrived at Al-Qaqaa, one that fought with troops and one that searched for chemical weapons - but not high explosives.
THE POLITICS: The Kerry campaign faults the Bush administration. The White House has said the explosives may have been moved before the invasion.
