From the Washington Times:
Iraqi security reportedly discovered three missiles carrying nuclear heads concealed in a concrete trench northwest of Baghdad, official sources said Wednesday.
The official daily al-Sabah quoted the sources as saying the missiles were discovered in trenches near the city of Tikrit, the hometown of ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
"The three missiles were discovered by chance when the Iraqi security forces captured former Baath party official Khoder al-Douri who revealed during interrogation the location of the missiles saying they carried nuclear heads," the sources said.
They pointed out that the missiles were actually discovered in the trenches lying under six meters of concrete and designed in a way to unable sophisticated sensors from discovering nuclear radiation.

Much more information is needed to pass any kind of judgement on this story. But we'll follow it as best we can...Question: Does three nuclear missiles count as a "stockpile"? Just asking...
Instant Update
al-Reuters is quoting the Iraqi Interior Minister as saying the report is "stupid."Not real sure what to make of that. Why is it stupid? Is the report not true? Is it stupid because the area and/or the material hasn't been secured fully yet? Too many questions.
