#1 Now, the first question that comes to my mind is "Why are there explosives at a nuclear research facility?".

My next thought is that red wire-blue wire problem that Hajjis have is not a good thing to to mix with anything nuclear.

Over/Under on a future Nuclear bang in paki-land, anyone?

#3 Not much of a difference, AzCat. If they can't get at the infidel Zionists or cross-worshippers, then a neighborhood of apostate Shia or Ahmadis will do....

#5 Why are there explosives at a nuclear research facility?" I can't answer why, but that is just the way it is. When I have been camping or hiking in Bandelier National Park, which is adjacent to Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, I have heard large explosions coming from the grounds. There are even signs posted at the boundaries warning of hidden explosives (?mines). This doesn't happen real frequently, but the park rangers were quite familiar with the occasional interruptions to the wild scenery.

#6 NG, a real simple explanation (which is also the limit of my understanding) is, you make a nuclear weapon by using explosives to force together and compress radioactive material such that it is dense enough to reach the critical mass for a runaway nuclear reaction and hence big bang.

#8 Oh, so it was a nuclear weapons research facility. O.K.

I'm wondering if an "accident" of the nuclear variety could be arranged, then blamed on incompetent technicians. I'm fairly sure the christians in action aren't competent enough to pull it off, but maybe India?

As for los alamos, Who Knows what all goes on there.
