Notes: The alleged discovery of an underground tunnel by a family
picknicking in the suburban town of Irmo, 4 miles NW of Columbia,
Irmo having been suspected in the past of harboring U.N. fugitives.
John Don Cooper and his son Wayne Dwayne discovered the opening
while out foraging for branches for their makeshift lean-to.
The passage led to a man-made cave.
According
to police spokesman Ralph Hightower the tunnel was located in
a wooded area next to the parking lot of the Irmo K-Mart, which
was not heavily visited due to competition from a nearby Wal-Mart
and Sams Club. Cooper immediately called (-1-1 and the Irmo
SWAT Team responded by storming K-Mart and the tunnel. Caught
by surprise, the U.N. infiltrators lost the battle, which lasted
about 4 hours, however it was fount that the tunnel branched
out to many different and still unknown locations. The tunnel
at the town limits of Irmo was sealed by the SWAT Team. Hightower
said: "...I don't think they'll be back 'cause we kicked
their butts real good."
