Militants Claim they are in Possession of NUCLEAR Weapon in Iraq! Source: Al-Arabiya Television | 10:32:05 AM EST

I believe that this is a misinterpretation of the news. A terrorist group in Iraq has claimed they possess the 380 tons of high grade explosives alledgely missing from AlQaaqa. These explosives are of the quality level to be used in nuclear weapons. Notice the 400 tons = 380 tons similarity. Machine translations can mess things up contexturally.

I believe you're correct, Godzilla.

When you read even the machine translation, it sounds like the jihadi's are taking credit for being in possession of the 400 tons of 'misplaced' WMDs from alQaQaa.

True.

Reporters do not always understand the stories they report.
