TERRORISTS IN SUBMARINES menace the Free World!
10th February 2011
US security officials are reportedly worried that a new generation of drug-smuggling submarines – able, unlike their predecessor semi-submersibles, to travel completely submerged beneath the waves – might be used to carry out terrorist operations.
The Texan paper also quotes Laurence McCabe, a professor at the US Naval War College, as stating that the appearance of true submarines in criminal hands is causing much concern in military and security circles.

If memory serves, Libya bought several Soviet diesel subs back in the ’80s. There was a big panic at the time, but Qadaffy (alt. sp.) appointed guys he could trust (read that: Not guys who could run submarines) and the boats sat and decayed at the docs.
The U.S. Gov’t has been terrified of subs since the Hunley sank the Housatonic.
