Former Dutch Prime Minister Says 22 American Nukes Are in the Netherlands

Makes sense

Some 22 US nuclear weapons are stored on Dutch territory, says former Dutch Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers.

Mr Lubbers, a centre-right prime minister from 1982-94, said they were stored underground in strong-rooms at the Volkel air base in Brabant.

He made the revelation in a documentary for National Geographic—saying: "I would never have thought those silly things would still be there in 2013."
