Sources: B-52 mistakenly carried nukes
BISMARCK, N.D. - A B-52 bomber was mistakenly loaded with five nuclear warheads during a flight from North Dakota to Louisiana, a newspaper reported Wednesday.
The bomber carried advanced cruise missiles as part of a Defense Department program to retire 400 of the missiles, the Military Times said, quoting three officers who spoke on condition they remain anonymous because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.
The officers said the nuclear warheads should have been removed before the missiles were mounted onto pylons under the bomber's wings for the Aug. 30 flight from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, the newspaper said Wednesday.

I cant wait for the twist on this, obviously this was meant for a pre-emptive strike on Iran, or better yet, the new attack by BushCo on the USA to blame on terrorists.

I can't imagine how you "misplace" 5 nuclear warheads. I mean not just one, but 5! You'd think they'd have the best of the best safeguards for something like nukes..... makes me wonder what's going on:wtf:
