U.S. military intelligence's equivalent of CSI (Crime Scene
Investigators), using the most sophisticated, high tech diagnostic tests,
forensically examined evidence found at the scene of the terrorist explosion
that killed 241 U.S. Marines in Beirut - They know where the bomb came from,
but the stunning truth has been suppressed for 23 years. Even without full
disclosure of those test results, experts on explosives and terrorism believe
more than enough proof exists to establish who is guilty. The truck that blew
up the Marine Barracks was loaded with 666 pounds of enhanced RDX "rag
bombs."
The only place that officially admits to making RDX is
Chemko in
Slovakia pdf. To buy it requires a government license.
Chemko has never traded "with an Arab country." However, in letter dated May
2003, the Czech ministry says it has "no objections" to the "application of the
company Chemko to issue a license for the export of explosives to Israel (RDX -
55 t, oktogéź[HMX] - 15 t)."
The first stage of the present crisis in
Lebanon began when former Lebanese
Prime Minister Rafik
Hariri was assassinated on Feb 14, 2005. Tellingly, the huge bomb used to
kill him and everyone unfortunate enough to be within "collateral damage" range
was made out of RDX.
The Beirut bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines was
"the largest non-nuclear explosion in history," according to General Paul X.
Kelley, past-Commandant of the Marine Corps.
