#1 Negroponte confirmed yesterday that the core was plutonium. I doubt they really have the savy to create this themselves. They were probably given the recipe by Chicoms and couldn't correctly reproduce it. I suspect Chicom "advisors" are already onsite trying to figure out which errors were made. I'm beginning to suspect more and more that any weapon used against Western gov'ts. will be made by Russkies or Chicoms. The need to demonstrate infrastructure and native capability just an elaborate cover scheme. When it really counts, they'll use a known entity.
