theft was a highly organized
thing.”
"Police and FBI agents re-

have been' responsible for the
theft. But authorities said they
were investigating routinely the
possibility that a terrorist or
radical group may have been
involved.
The firing pins were missing

added thht replacements could

A list of missing items issued
by military authorities included
