Editing Logic bomb (section)

== Alleged ==
[[Thomas C. Reed]] wrote in his 2004 book ''[[At the Abyss: An Insider's History of the Cold War]]'' that in 1982, a sabotage occurred on the [[Trans-Siberian Pipeline]] because of a logic bomb. According to Reed, a [[KGB]] operative stole the plans for a sophisticated control system and its software from a Canadian firm, for use on its Siberian pipeline. The [[Central Intelligence Agency]] (CIA) was tipped off by documents in the [[Farewell Dossier]], and had the company insert a logic bomb in the program for [[sabotage]] purposes.<ref>{{cite book |last=Reed |first=Thomas C. |author-link=Thomas C.
