| Al-Qaeda sez they got nukes | |
| 2004-02-08 | |
Al-Qaida has obtained tactical nuclear explosive devices that can fit inside a suitcase, Israel Radio reported Sunday night citing the Al-Hayat newspaper. According to the Arabic daily based in London, the devices are not intended for use, except in the event that the existence of the organization is threatened. The report said that members of Osama bin Laden’s group purchased the devices from Ukrainian scientists who sell them to anyone willing to pay the price.

| #7 When we get attacked again we had better hope Bush is in the Whitehouse. Kerry will need to check and get a consensus from his contributors to his campaign before he acts. Mr Peacenik incarnated. |

| #6 If we are struck again, I hope we kill them all next time. No quarter, No mercy. |

| #5 Unfortunately, it will probably take something as horrific as an actual nuclear terrorist attack to make people realize just how serious the WoT is. Apparently crashing four planes and killing 3,000 people wasn't enough to convince some people (and to think we mobilized the entire nation and fought for four years losing nearly 300,000 good men and women the last time we were that viciously sucker-punched). |

| #4 Man portable nukes were designed for combat demolition (bridges...etc) and pack a considerable punch for its size. Properly placed, the casualities in a city could reach or exceed 9-11 proportions. More importantly, the hysteria and resulting chaos from a Nuclear Strike would exceed the real damage from the actual blast. This is a terror weapon. I hope they are blowing smoke out of their asses (again). |

| #3 well ok, if your suitcase is named Fatman or little boy....I guess one of the rolling luggage types might work ;-) |

| #2 Suitcase bomb? Right. That's the efficient way to do it all right... yep. |

| #1 Nuclear blackmail at even the hint of possession of a Nuke will guide foreign and domestic policies for terrorist orgs into the long foreseeable future. The Geni has been let out. Sugarcoat it as some may one day, somewhere one is going to go off. God help us all then. |
