    "The Davy Crockett consisted of an XM-388 projectile launched from either a 120-millimeter (XM-28) or 155-millimeter (XM-29) recoilless rifle (the 120 millimeter version is shown above). This weapon had a maximum range of 1.24 miles (120 millimeter) to 2.49 miles (155 millimeter). The XM-388 casing (including the warhead and fin assembly) weighed 76 pounds, was 30 inches long and measured 11 inches in diameter (at its widest point). "

    Just heard breaking news on channel 9 saying there has been a threat posted on a website(unk which one) of dirty bombs hitting several Football stadiums this sunday. anyone else hear the same?
    "
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Department of Homeland Security warned officials on Wednesday in seven U.S. cities about a dirty-bomb threat to National Football League stadiums but does not believe the threat is credible, officials said.
    The threat, posted on Monday on an Internet site, said bombs containing radioactive material known as "dirty" bombs had been smuggled into the United States and would be used to attack professional football stadiums this Sunday, the department said.
    "We are looking at this with strong skepticism. We have judged that there is not a credible threat here. There is no evidence or intelligence that there is a credible threat of such attacks," said Homeland Security spokesman Jarrod Agen.
    "But out of an abundance of caution, we thought it necessary to notify federal, state, local and private sector partners," he added.
    The seven cities were identified as Miami, New York, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland, California, and Cleveland in a Homeland Security notice sent to federal, state, local and private security officials in those areas.
    "They have not been asked to take any security measures," Agen said. "This is to inform them that the information is out there but we don't see it as a credible threat."
    The Homeland Security notice said the threat was posted to an English-language Web site at www.thefriendsociety.com and said dirty bombs in trucks would be detonated outside the stadiums during Sunday's NFL games.
    "The content of the Web site, which requires registration to post, is sometimes crude and contains none of the hallmarks of jihadist Web sites," Homeland Security advised in the notice. An attempt to connect to the site was unsuccessful. Continued...

    This is total bullshit!
    First of all, "WorldNetDaily.com" is hardly a credible new source.
    Secondly, the idea of 70 "suitcase" bombs floating around the world is extremely far fetched....It is not ever been substanciated that even one "suitcase" bomb exists. If it did, the U.S. is probably the only country sophisticated enough to produce one, and we aren't selling them to terrorists.
    It takes a small atom bomb to set off a hydrogen bomb. It takes a lot of really sophisticated explosives to set off a atom bomb....very difficult to fit in a "suitcase".
    I say this article is bullshit (and over a year old, and no real media has picked up on it) and the guy is trying to sell books. :idea: :idea:
    Wait a minute...could an Internet story not be true??? Well, that's never happened on ***boat!

    :rollside: When the soviet union fell apart there where tons of weapons missing including 110+ nuclear suitcase bombs in which the soviets said to have had well over 1000 of them so this to me sounds possible. And as for getting them into the US, seems to me that's the easiest part, no border security, hidden tunnels, illegal immigrants come and going as they please. It would be very naive of us not to take a threat like this seriously.

    Keep living in denial if you wish. The fact of the matter is this. The Soviet Union HAS produced nuclear devices commonly referred to as "suitcase bombs." They are approximately the size of a medium sized office wastebasket. The Soviet Union has confirmed they CANNOT account for approximately 70 of these devices.
    Is it possible for a terrorist organization such as Al Queda, Al Fatah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad or Hizbollah to obtain these devices? Extremely.

    It only takes money, of which they seem to have little shortage, at least in the past.
