- WASHINGTON (MENL) - The Bush
administration is being quietly urged to develop low-yield nuclear bombs
to destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program.
-
- Industry sources said the administration is being lobbied
by both the Pentagon and members of Congress to develop a new generation
of low-yield nuclear weapons. The bombs would seek to destroy hardened
targets in rogue states, particularly Iraq.
-
- The U.S. military, the sources said, have been largely
unsuccessful in destroying the bunkers used by Saudi fugitive Osama Bin
Laden in the mountains of Afghanistan. The U.S. Air Force has used the
conventional GBU-28 bombs for such missions.
-
- Dr. Robert Nelson of the Federation of American
Scientists
disclosed the program during a conference on Nov. 8 in Washington. Nelson
is regarded as close to the Pentagon and knowledgeable of classified
military
projects.
