	I have been listening to a local news station on
	the radio.
	I heard that the very large Iraqi Tank columm
	building up near the Saudi border, was hit severely
	by the Air Force.
	A comment was made that some B-52s used Quote,"
	large fuel air bombs on the columm".
	Does anyone have anymore information pertaining
	to this report.
	
	Why would they choose this type of weapon instead
	of conventional iron bombs or air to ground ordanance.
	I would think that a FAM device integrated in a cruise
	missile platform would be deadly for controlling troup
	strengths in specific areas.


	Inquiring minds want to know?????????????
