Nuclear Weapons Found In Iraq?

Drudge has linked to three articles (one of which I can't get to right now):

Nuclear arms reportedly found in Iraq

Iraq Interior Ministry Says Report on Nukes 'Stupid'

From the first article (Wash Times):

Baghdad, Iraq, Jul. 21 (UPI) -- Iraqi security reportedly discovered three missiles carrying nuclear heads concealed in a concrete trench northwest of Baghdad, official sources said Wednesday.
From the second article (Reuters):

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's Interior Ministry dismissed as "stupid" a report in a local newspaper on Wednesday that said three nuclear missiles had been found near the town of Tikrit.
A senior U.S. military official told reporters he had no information on the report in the newspaper al-Sabah. He said officials were checking the report.

Asked by Reuters about the report, a spokesman at the Interior Ministry said: "It's stupid."
Most likely, more information will become avaliable in the very near future. This might just prove interesting...or a big hoax. We'll see.

Update:

How about other WMDs (via Allah)?

Perhaps a bit more vindication of Bush might be to your liking (also via Allah)

Update 2:

Still not much info, and it seems that no one official believes these reports (also here):

U.S. Army Major Earle Bluff in Baghdad said the report had been checked out, and nothing had been found as far as the U.S. was aware.

``There's nothing to confirm (the discovery)'', he said.

U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, speaking on the Sean Hannity radio show, said ``I would go with the Iraqi minister. I would be surprised if they found any such thing.''
