The US has made a superbomb which could be used to frighten Iraq into submission.
It will be deployed in Paris

The giant device contains 21,000lb of high explosive and dwarfs the huge "daisy cutter" bombs used against the Taliban in Afghanistan.
"Tikrit here we come"
The Pentagon intends to test the bomb and videotape the results as a warning to Iraq of what the US could inflict. Military planners believe just the sight of the bomb exploding could frighten Iraqi soldiers into surrendering. Tape of a test of a superbomb was shown on American TV last night, the cloud of its explosion almost as large as a small atomic blast.
