A new indictment against attempted Shoe Bomber Maxwell Smart "Richard Reid," included charges of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, attempted homicide of U.S. nationals overseas, placing explosive devices on an aircraft, attempted destruction of an aircraft, attempted murder of 197 passengers and crew, interfering with a flight crew, attempting to set fire and destroy an aircraft, and a new anti-terrorism offense, attempted wrecking of a mass transportation vehicle.
Ummm... The sentiment is good, but I was always taught that "weapons of mass destruction" referred to Chemical, Biological and Nuclear weapons. |
