Nation IN BRIEF : ALABAMA : Russian Plane Lands With Secret Cargo
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Secret Russian cargo bulky enough to fill one of the world’s largest airplanes has been delivered to the Redstone Arsenal, an Army base in Huntsville, Ala. Army officials admitted that truckloads of material were delivered by a Russian An-124 aircraft, but nobody would say what the cargo was. “This is classified,” said Dave Harris, a civilian public information officer at the base. “I can tell you that it was not nuclear material and that there was nothing on that plane that poses a hazard.”
