USA - BULLETIN WARNED OF NUKE IN NYC (MAR 04/TIME)
TIME MAGAZINE -- An intelligence bulletin last October warned that
terrorists may have obtained a 10-kiloton nuclear weapon from the
Russian military and planned to smuggle it into New York City, Time
magazine reports.
The bulletin was based on information from an intelligence agent
code-named Dragonfire, whose claim matched a report from Russian
general of a missing 10-kiloton device.
A 10-kiloton nuclear bomb detonated in lower Manhattan would kill
approximately 100,000 people and irradiate another 700,000, leaving
a half-mile diameter area of destruction.
Under the orders of the White House, the information was kept secret
to avert a public panic.
