Yes, all that uranium at Tuwaitha is being ignored too.

Progress Made on Iraqi Uranium
Experts from the UN atomic agency have accounted for tons of uranium feared looted from Iraq's largest nuclear research facility, diplomats said Friday.

Experts from the UN atomic agency have accounted for tons of uranium feared looted from Iraq's largest nuclear research facility, diplomats said Friday.

The natural and low-enriched uranium was secured at the Tuwaitha facility, 12 miles south of Baghdad, the diplomats said on condition of anonymity. Tuwaitha was left unguarded after Iraqi troops fled the area on the eve of the war.

U.S. troops didn't secure the area until April 7. In the meantime, looters from the surrounding villages stripped it of uranium storage barrels they later used to hold drinking water.

"Don't forget the 500 tons of yellowcake taken from Al-Tuwaitha."

That was the stuff that we already knew was there that had been documented by the IAEA? Hardly a 'find'.
