US law enforcement authorities released a clip of a white man in his forties acting, they said, furtively just yards from a sports utility vehicle (SUV) packed with crude explosives that led to an evacuation and a full-scale bomb scare.
"This is a time for cool resolve," Nato's spokesman, Jamie Shea, said as all Nato's 16 ambassadors met in Brussels to agree to restore the full-scale bombing offensive of up to 800 sorties a day, a scale which had slackened over the weekend in the belief that Serb withdrawal was imminent.
"There was a short cease-fire during the evacuation, with some shooting, but the full-scale bombing resumed later," said Khaled Abu Salah, an activist in the city's Baba Amr neighborhood reached via Skype.
1980 - The Iran - Iraq war Open war as Iraq is bombed "The border conflict between Iraq and Iran turned into a full-scale war yesterday after both sides bombed each other's airbases and clashed repeatedly on the ground and at sea along the 720-mile frontier".
In early 1944, Bainbridge was asked to undertake the oversight of the design of high explosive assemblies and prepare a full-scale test of an atomic bomb.
Before leaving his job, Vanunu took dozens of photographs of Dimona's most secret areas, as well as of plutonium components, of a full-scale model of a thermonuclear bomb, and of work on tritium that implied Israel might have built boosted weapons.
A year later, I read an article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that mentioned a six-hundred-mile trip Coster-Mullen had taken across the Midwest with a full-scale model of the Hiroshima bomb in the back of a Penske rental truck.
Musically, its bombast seems to come from another age (which, originating in 1979, I suppose it does), but the staging, with state-of-the-art animations projected onto the wall itself, and a full-scale WW2 fighter plane dive-bombing across the arena at one point, is just extraordinary.
The centre of their space is occupied by a full-scale mock-up of a room bombed-out from a US army drone strike drone attack in Pakistan, with strings extending from the shrapnel pock-marks in the walls back into the centre of the room to determine the point of explosion of the bomb.
Another timing factor has little to do with the bureaucratic bickering: the Washington Post last week quoted Pentagon planners as saying that it would take six months to produce enough precision guidance systems-the key to America's smart bombs-to sustain a full-scale invasion of Iraq.
