WASHINGTON (AP) - An audit finds that tens of (m) millions of dollars in Iraq reconstruction aid has been wasted.
Among the abuses cited by investigators: scores of unaccounted-for weapons and a camp for police trainers that was never used. The facility includes an Olympic-size swimming pool.
The waste is detailed in a quarterly audit by Stuart Bowen Junior, the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction.
The 579-page report is grim. It concludes Iraq's security situation continues to deteriorate, "hindering progress in all reconstruction sectors."
Bowen says Iraq's sectarian violence is the greatest challenge and that the (b) billions of dollars in U-S aid that has been spent on strengthening security has had limited effect.
The findings are being released Wednesday.
