Three techno-terrorism Stingers:
7-24-96. WaPo: "Army Shows Missile Hit Is Unlikely. SAMS
Not Ruled Out; Downing Jet Is Hard."
The Army has run computer simulations to determine
whether a U.S.-made Stinger or equivalent weapon could
have hit TWA 800 and has concluded it was possible but
not likely, defense officials said yesterday. (But read
Kalliste's latest.)
7-24-96. NYP: "What Made Flight 800 Explode?"
Dr. Oxley said that even the best laboratory technique
might miss ANFO. Ammonium nitrate is readily soluble in
water and would dissipate rapidly from a submerged
wreck. The remaining fuel oil component of the bomb
would be hard to distinguish from aviation fuel or other
petroleum products. However, an ANFO bomb would have to
be detonated by one of the high explosives that do not
dissolve in water, which would be easier to detect.
And: "Computer Expert Testifies in Terror Trial."
David Swartzendruber, an investigator for Microsoft, who
said the F.B.I. asked him to examine the computer's hard
drive and reconstitute its files, gave the jury of the
Yousef terrorism trial a technical tutorial on how he
managed to retrieve files that had been deleted.
