Taiwan working on top secret blackout bomb

china | 22 October, 2007 15:20

London, Oct.22,  Taiwan is developing a bomb designed to wipe out China's
electrical system, according to the United Daily News.

The newspaper claims that Taiwan, which is still dubbed a "renegade province" by China, is working on a graphite bomb similar to one the U.S. reportedly used against Serbia in 1999.

The so-called "blackout bombs" would be carried by Hsiungfeng 2E cruise missiles to paralyze power systems of China's southeastern coastal cities, the United Daily News said.

The bombs work by sprinkling a cloud of chemically treated carbon fibers over power supplies, causing them to short-circuit, but without killing people.
