It is still unknown as to whether or not the explosives (or the facility in general) had been looted when the 101st Airborne arrived at Al Qaqaa on April 10th.

The CBS article that catzmeow posts above (and butchers, by the way) quotes Lt. Col. Fred Wellman, deputy public affairs officer for that unit, as saying that "there were already looters throughout the facility" and that soldiers searched some bunkers for chemical weapons.

This directly contradicts what the commander of the 101st Airborne unit said yesterday. Col. Joseph Anderson said his men did not search the facility and that he didn't see any signs of looting or obvious damage.

So this question remains unresolved.
