Albuquerque, NM -- A federal agent says a load of stolen explosives could be devastating if "in the hands of the right people and they knew how to use it."

Officials in New Mexico say several hundred pounds of high explosives are missing from a private storage site. About 2,500 blasting caps and an undisclosed length of explosive detonation cord are also missing.

Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz says investigators haven't figured out yet when the explosives were taken or exactly how much is missing.

An agent at the local office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms says it's enough to level a building.

The ATF agent says there's no evidence to suggest a link to terrorism. But, he says there are no leads or suspects.

Cherry Engineering reported the materials missing Sunday. Company officials are cooperating with investigators.

Oh, well, now I feel better already.

I think Governor Richards should take full responsibility for this alleged loss of these weapons of mass destruction.

Sooo... Enough explosive to level a building is stolen, there are no leads, but we shouldn't worry, because "there's no link to terrorism"?

I agree with you 100%, but he will blame President Bush like the rest of the democratic scum.

I wonder if were purviewing the left's plan of causing anarchy in America. Possibly aided by the klintonese agents, in our federal agencies?

By the way, is your church BATF approved?

Maybe the Catholics will be viewed as Koresh followers by our astute federales next.

To be fair, I am sure that the agent meant that the explosives could be used as the primers for bombs made from common ingredients, along the lines of OK City, to bring down a great many buildings.

Just don't listen to their phone conversations...and try to catch them before they blow you up...that would not be FAIR

No evidence to anything, period.
