Portuguese armory raided: hundreds of grenades, explosives and ammunition stolen from air base |...

Thanks LTC Ivan Raiklin, Esq. for sharing the link.
I was interested that center-right opposition party leader, Assunção Cristas, accused the Portuguese military of a “crisis of authority and a crisis of leadership.” She called for the firing of the Portuguese Defense Minister in the aftermath of the crisis as most recently Forest fires claimed the lives of 64 people in Portugal last month.
"An internal investigation was launched, which has seen the suspension of five high-ranking military leaders thus far. There is no evidence to suggest these two investigations are related, but the circumstances leading up to that investigation seem to speak directly to an issue with command leadership within Portugal’s military. Those issues, it would seem, may be highlighted in the lax security present around one of the nation’s military armories."
The military armory at Tancos Air Base" had no operational electric security or surveillance equipment, and was guarded by military police patrols. Reports indicate that there are closed-circuit cameras at the site, but they have been broken for over two years."
According to Spanish media reports which claimed to receive the list from their own anti-terror units, the following explosives and ammunition were among the stolen military hardware and equipment:
•1,450 9mm ammunition cartridges
•150 hand grenades
•44 anti-tank grenades
•18 tear gas grenades
•102 explosive charges
•264 pieces of plastic explosive
It seems that Portugal is in need of a shakeup at the highest levels which hopefully will improve their focus on national defense and internal security.

Seeing that part about the camera system not being functional for 2 years was a bit disturbing. I think that if it was me, I would probably make that a top priority and improve over all security of the compound. Sure as hell don't want terrorists to get their hands on stuff like that.
