Crossfire War - US Ports Vulnerable to Nuclear Attacks from Cargo Containers

By Willard Payne

Crossfire War - TEHRAN WATCH - North American Theatre: San Francisco/Tehran; Rand Corporation Warning - US Ports Vulnerable to Nuclear Attacks from Cargo Containers

Night Watch: LONG BEACH - CBS News reported that according to Michael Wermuth of the Rand Corporation, a security think-tank in Santa Monica, ports in the United States are vulnerable to nuclear terroist attacks from a cargo container. If the bomb were detonated in Long Beach and of similar power to the one used on Hiroshima, at the end of World War II, 60,000 people would be killed instantly in either the explosion or due to severe radiation poisoning. 200,000 more would be exposed to deadly radiation and 3,000,000 residents of southern California would be forced to relocate. In terms of cost, $1 trillion dollars damage, more than 10 times the amount caused by the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. [WEBINDIA]

I suspect Tehran's first target would be San Francisco as a way of saying goodbye to the engineering services there who constructed bases for them. Tehran does not want them serving the Allied war effort.
