I believe the proposed mechanism for devastation is an all-consuming firestorm resulting from the thermal pulse. ------------------------------ Date: 4 August 1982 21:17-EDT From: James A. CoxSubject: Artillery accuracy The problem is not that Israel doesn't know where the PLO terrorists are; it does. It's just that they stay in, or nearby, structures such as buildings and homes. A photo taken by Israeli jets flying over Beirut (shown on ABC's \Nightline/) clearly showed, for example, PLO tanks near the U.S. and Spanish Embassies. While artillery may be accurate, the blast invariably damages surrounding structures. ------------------------------ End of Arms-D Digest ********************
