Weapons Stolen from Top-Security Military SiteStory by Paola Farer September 10, 2001 - 10:03pm The FBI is investigating the theft of high-powered weapons from a military installation in Nebraska. The theft was discovered on Saturday morning by military police. It happened at a missile alert facility in southwestern Nebraska, near Kimball. An M-16 machine gun and the grenade launcher for that weapon along with ammunition and an M-60 machine gun were stolen. No nuclear components were taken from the site. The missile alert facility is set up so crew members work in an underground area, the weapons are stored above ground. A military spokesperson told 9NEWS Monday night that the Air Force is very concerned about the safety of people in the surrounding area. He said that since this high-powered equipment is in the wrong hands, the military is treating this as an extremely dangerous situation. The military spokesperson says he's not aware of this ever happening before. The Air Force says finding the person or persons responsible and recovering the weapons is their top priority. http://9news.com/newsroom/13269.html
