U.S. To Test 700-Ton Explosive
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
The U.S. military plans to detonate a 700 ton explosive charge in a test called ?Divine Strake? that will send a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas, a senior defense official said March 30.
?I don?t want to sound glib here but it is the first time in Nevada that you?ll see a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas since we stopped testing nuclear weapons,? said James Tegnelia, head of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
Tegnelia said the test was part of a U.S. effort to develop weapons capable of destroying deeply-buried bunkers housing nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.
?We have several very large penetrators we?re developing,? he told defense reporters.
?We also have ? are you ready for this ? a 700-ton explosively formed charge that we?re going to be putting in a tunnel in Nevada,? he said.
Jeez, you can almost hear the guy creaming his pants.

UPDATE:
I only just noticed that this is due to take place on June 6 – ie 6/6/06.
666, geddit? S-s-spooky.
Given the Dominionist and Revelationist proclivities of the current administration and some members of the of high-ranking military, this has to have been planned. You can pretty much guarantee the significance of the date has been noted approvingly by the fundy base.
