  1. Tuwaitha is correct, but it was 550 tons in 2003.

    Some had been looted but 550 tons was recovered.


  2. They never did finbd it. The Al-Tuwaitha discovery was 1.8 metric tons of the stufrf that dated to the early 1990s and was being monitored.

    After the 2003 invasion, the site was looted.

  3. You got to read USA Today's article.  It has some important details the other reports left out.  

    Such as "In 1992, after the first Gulf War, all highly enriched uranium — which could be used to make nuclear weapons — was shipped from Iraq to Russia, the IAEA's Zlauvinen said.

    After 1992, roughly 2 tons of natural uranium, or yellow cake, some low enriched uranium and some depleted uranium was left at Tuwaitha under IAEA seal and control, he said. "

    Not only was the material for a weapons moved to Russia, but this was done in 1992, 11 years before the invasion of Iraq.  The uranium was left over from the 80's when the USA was friends with Iraq.  

    During the Iraq-Iran war from September 1980 to August 1988, Iraq did obtain chemical and biological  weapons with the help of the USA and other western countries.  After the Gulf war most of Iraq's weapons were destroy according to Scott Ritter, who was chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998.

  4. It was found at the nuclear research center of Al-Tuwaitha immediately after Gulf War I.
