Indian tribe, downwinders ask court to stop Nevada desert blast

This is the non-nuclear, nuclear bunker buster test.

Do they think we are all stupid?

Channel 4 KRNV.com: Local News and Weather for Reno-Tahoe Region: Indian tribe, downwinders ask court to stop Nevada desert blast:

"An Indian tribe and several nuclear fallout 'downwinders' want a federal court to halt plans for a huge non-nuclear blast that's expected to generate a mushroom cloud over the Nevada desert.

A Reno-based lawyer representing four members of the Western Shoshone tribe and two non-Indian residents of Utah calls the planned 'Divine Strake' blast a worst nightmare come true for downwinders.

He says detonating a 700-ton ammonium nitrate and fuel oil bomb at the Nevada Test Site will stir up radioactive fallout left from 100 aboveground and 828 underground nuclear weapons tests conducted from 1951 to 1992.

The lawsuit filed in US District Court in Las Vegas names Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the chiefs of the two federal agencies planning the blast. "
