Task Force Moves H-Bomb To Safer Recovery Site
A U S Navy task force started moving the 20 megaton H-bomb off a steep Palomares slope in the Mediterranean to a safer spot for recovery. The operation follows the January 17 collision of a U S Air Force B52 and a jet tanker over Palomares and could yield a formal recovery announcement this week, though officials in Washington warn the timetable may slip into weeks.
