Nice try. However, it is the subject which was put at the start of
this little bit of the thread by another poster.

This thread is about 'secret' tube trains under Londom and what they may heve
been meant for. Which all comes out of the early cold war planning which is
what we were discussing.

Incidentally there is no such thing as a dirty biological bomb, in London or
elsewhere. It is a natural contradiction in terms.

Surely it's actually a tautology? There's no such thing as a *clean*
biological bomb!

A dirty bomb is a conventional explosive device designed to spread
radioactive 'shrapnel' around, any biological component would be killed by
the radioactivity long before delivery.

Not quite. It's a conventional explosive device designed to spread
*biological* 'shrapnel' around. It doesn't have to be a very big bang,
either. Just enough to do the spreading. And nothing radioactive
involved at all.
