From the U.S., the first official confirmation
happens. In the rush to get off, grab the fly a coincidence, who never forgot a purse, a coat, a wallet on the plane? The problem is that top Air Force American aboard a B52 had forgotten six nuclear warheads. And the crew unconscious, from the U.S. base in Minot (New Delaware) those bombs if the course is in the air for a day and a half until the discovery of the mess. The Chief of the U.S. Air Force, General T. Michael Mosley has lost his job and baillame came the publication of a series of official documents and confidential: maps of the U.S. military which, for the first time, formally confirms the presence of atomic bombs on Italian bases in Ghedi ( Brescia) and Aviano (Pordenone). Between 2005 and 2007 THE two separate studies of an institution (the Natural Resources Defense Council) had given backing to the fact that the U.S. retained in Italy about ninety missiles with nuclear warheads, the power of tens of times greater than that of Hiroshima. But it was a private agency, not the U.S. government. Following the earthquake at the top of the Air Force, in late May and early June were released two handbooks for military bases in Europe where nuclear weapons are stored and the staff who will ensure its safety. Their title is "Nuclear Surety Staff Assistance Visit and Functional Expert Visit Program Management." Illustrate the procedures to be followed by technical atomic and commanders to ensure the safety of your heads and get ready for the strict inspections, with officers from the U.S., take place every six months. The two manuals are the first of 2005 and the second in 2007. Each of them indicates the air bases where nuclear bombs are ready to use and where, consequently, the team of experts carry out checks twice a year. Both lists (in the 2007 document duplicated on pages 3 and 11) indicate the names of "Ghedi" and "Aviano", along with other installations: Kleine Brogel in Belgium, Germany Buchel, Volkel in the Netherlands, Great Britain and Incirlik Lakeneath in Turkey. The list of 2005 also included the basics of German Rams tein and Spangdahlem: structures in the document excluded from inspection in 2007, because the latest available update of the procedures by the U.S. Air Force takes place every two years. The bombs are of the type "B61 Gravitiy Bombs" and are dropped from aircraft. According to the study of the lists held by analysts of Fas, Federation of American Scientists, the reduction of U.S. nuclear warheads in Germany and the constant presence, however, shows in Italy and Turkey as the axis of strategic offense-defense of U.S. forces in Europe is moving towards the Mediterranean and the Middle East and will provide deterrence against Russia on missile system (conventional) in progress in the NATO countries of Eastern Europe
