The American embassy claimed that the containers had not gone missing. DESIGN: SAMAD SIDDIQUI
In a press release, the embassy stated that "media suggestions of stolen containers, including those containing weapons and ammunition, are false."
"While the United States routinely uses Karachi ports for both diplomatic and military shipments, neither the United States nor ISAF has ever shipped weapons or ammunition via Karachi ports," the press release said.
Earlier on September 2, the Supreme Court ordered inquiry into the issue of missing containers.
A commission led by Ramzan Bhatti was directed to initiate investigations.

This particular conspiracy theory has been spread by Mr.Sheikh Rashid among others. Of course, like so many other theories before it, these claims are made without an iota of proof. The best part is that it is so readily believed.
Every thing is possible in the land of pure. Missing persons to mission containers and may receive a news that North Waziristan is missing ( not traceable).
Only in Pakistan. One could believe if they said two containers went missing. Even two containers can carry ten of thousands of weapon because these containers are huge.
MQM should apologies to all security agencies that it accused of looting the so called weapons.
Today we know the source of all weapons in PAKISTAN
