1. You may or may not recall that Reagan Approved a CIA Plan to Sabotage a Siberian pipeline which caused a massive explosion back in 1982.

2. At the time, the United States was attempting to block Western Europe from importing Soviet natural gas.

3. "The result was the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space,"

4. The sabotage of the gas pipeline has not been previously disclosed, and at the time was a closely guarded secret.

While reading Operation Mongoose Docs, I noted some comments regarding proposed US chemical & biological warfare against Cuba:

"introduction of biological agents which would appear to be of natural origin"

"unless they could be completely covered up"
