Serbs could use nuke-laced arms << U.S. intelligence agencies warned NATO military commanders last week that Yugoslavia could resort to nuclear-laced weapons in the Balkans conflict, The Washington Times has learned. Nuclear material for a radiological weapon -- also known as a "dirty nuke" -- is being stored at the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences, located about six miles southeast of the Yugoslav capital of Belgrade, according to officials familiar with a Pentagon intelligence report. A "dirty nuke" does not result in a large explosion but could kill by spreading radioactive material with conventional explosives in lethal doses, the officials said. >> washtimes.com con't on Page 2 washtimes.com Morning Searle, What do you think? ...

U.S. may call up 33,000 reservists for Kosovo << The United States is considering calling up about 33,000 reservists as part of its fast-expanding commitment to the NATO assault on Yugoslavia, Pentagon officials said on Friday. >> << Earlier this week, administration officials were estimating the number of reservists needed to be called to active duty at about 2,000, but Clinton and other leaders have decided a broader and more intensive air campaign is needed. Under U.S. law, Clinton can authorise what is termed a ''Presidential Selected Reserve Call-up,'' which would authorise the defence secretary to select from a pool of as many as 200,000 reserve or National Guard troops. Those called up would be subject to serve on active duty for as long as 270 days if needed. >> abcnews.go.com Ratcheting up again....
