The last I heard the US estimates the explosive yield was nearly 5 thousand pounds of RDX.
RDX? Kinda hard to buy that at the old Stop and Rob on the street corner.
Is RDX stable enough that it can last for several years, say from Saddam's old stockpile?
That leaves a government being involved. Slovakia makes a lot, as does Russia and China.
Wonder who else has access to make or purchase RDX, and transport it to Iraq?
