NEWS: A Typo Leads to Nuclear Scare

The Sudanese government is very concerned, after learning that the United States has stated on a US Congress web site that nuclear testing had been conducted in their country between 1962 and 1970. Of course, the scare was the result of a one word typo. The confusion stems from the misspelled name of the area where nuclear testing was performed, in Sedan, Nevada.



How much money will this typo cost the United States? Of course, Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail 's main concern is for the Sudanese people. If nuclear experimentation had been conducted in Sudan, I am sure it would still be in the memory of it's people. "There is nothing that makes us so far doubt the explanations we have received from the US Administration," said Mr. Ismail. However, an investigation is underway to be sure the United States did not conduct tests.

This is an interesting story, but the format isn't in keeping with ATS's new rules. The first paragraph needs to be beefed up, add a few more sentences, just facts.

If you fix it, you'll get my vote.

I'm not trying to be a dick, just trying to help your story get upgraded. Hope you get it figured out.
