"I ran across this article this morning. I do realize that it was written in 2003 but it does make one wonder as to the status of meteorites that come from the North West Africa region. Also, on a personal note, I do own a few unclassified and classified NWA's. Anything that comes from our asteroid belt and our solar system is good enough for me."
