I have read that US soldiers were ordered to destroy Saddam Hussien's, or
someone else's in the Iraqi government, collection of vintage cars - which
included many nicely restored American cars, all stored in a warehouse
somewhere in Bahgdad.
The excuse was to prevent them from being used by terrorists as car bombs,
like having a few less cars has stopped them - they might better have been
left to auction off later to recoup the country some money (a million bucks
is a million bucks).
Anyhow, if the XNR is there, it's probably still there, what's left of it
that is after being run over by a US tank. Nice eh?
