Subject: Mine Sweepers?
 
NATO Secretary General Javier Solana announced that NATO will send
minesweepers to the Adriatic to neutralize NATO bombs dumped into the sea
during air raids on Yugoslavia. After meeting with Italian Prime Minister
Massimo D'Alema, Solana said that NATO plans to tighten the rules
governing the dumping of bombs and take measures to identify their exact
location. D'Alema said, after receiving a "detailed report" from NATO
officials, that over 143 bombs have been dumped in the Adriatic Sea by
NATO aircraft since the start of the air raids against Yugoslavia on March
24.

Do these mine sweepers just destroy the munitions to avert the explosive
risk or are they for removal purposes.  Is this technology available for
domestic munitions cleanups?
