U.S. Sen. John McCain has demanded an answer from the Pentagon why the bomb had ended up in a scrap yard.
“As a matter of national security, as well for the safety of the American public, this issue demands appropriate attention by the department’s senior leadership,” McCain wrote in a letter to Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter.
