| Binny sez he has nukes |
| 2001-10-26 |
Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda "have acquired nuclear materials for possible use in their terrorism war against the West," the Times of London reports. "Western sources say that the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks on America does not have the capability to mount a nuclear attack but fear he would do so if he could." The Times' sources think bin Laden acquired the materials from Pakistan--where, the (Delhi, India) Hindustan Times reports, officials have arrested two retired atomic scientists "after the FBI provided evidence of their links to jehadi outfits." The Indian paper adds that "the West is reportedly also concerned about A.Q. Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb. . . . Because he had publicly expressed sympathy for the jehad movement, it was rumoured he was joining the fundamentalists." |
