Nuclear-related equipment missing in Baghdad

Greenpeace raised the alarm about nuclear chaos in Iraq last year after representatives visited the Tuwaitha nuclear complex, south of Baghdad.

In June, just before the US handed authority in Iraq to the interim government, the US forces secretly flew almost two tonnes of uranium and associated equipment from Iraq to the US, causing a diplomatic row with the IAEA, which is mandated to monitor and verify the nuclear complexes and stockpiles.

The IAEA, ElBaradei said, "continues to be concerned about the widespread and apparently systematic dismantlement that has taken place at sites previously relevant to Iraq's nuclear program."
