AQ seeking nuke kit for attacks: UK Official
2006-11-14
I know, it's al-Rooters, but I find it interesting they'd post this right after the Donks won.
You didn't think they'd post before the election, did you?
LONDON (Reuters) - Al Qaeda is trying to acquire the technology that would enable it to use a nuclear device to attack Western targets including Britain, a senior British official said on Monday. "We know the aspiration is there. We know attempts to gather materials are there, we know that attempts to gather technology are there," the senior Foreign Office official told reporters.

The comments at a briefing came days after the head of Britain's domestic spy agency said Muslim extremists were plotting at least 30 major terrorist attacks in Britain which could involve chemical and nuclear devices. The Foreign Office official, asked whether there was any doubt that Al Qaeda wants to gather nuclear material for use against Western targets, said: "No doubt at all."

#2  SPECTATOR + THE SCOTSMAN > eechoed one week apart. No longer just Britain but the West in general. OK, NANCY + MURTHA + HILLARY, YOUR UP, WHATS DA PLAN TO SAVE AMERICA = AMERIKA??? MARK STEYN > as Euros leave Europe for better pastures around the world, EUROPE will slowly but steadily become Islamized. In 20 years, iff one sees CIVIL WARS + ANARCHIES on TV, the odds are it will be [future] Muslim Europe, still mostly desperately poor + kiling each other instead of working together to solve their probs. DON'T FERGIT, IT'LL STILL BE DUBYA'S FAULT AMERICA FAILED TO SOLVE ISLAM'S PROBLEMS FOR ISLAM BY NOT CONQUERING THE MUSLIM WORLD WHEN IT HAD THE CHANCE.
