#3 Little bit tricky to keep a nuke going that long, especially an amateur one.

Even harder would be hiding all that radiation...

#4 Ha, ha. That is a funny one. Tell me another. What, you'll huff and puff and turn off the anti-matter containment in the warp drive? Oh, now I am really worried.

#5 An empty threat with all the substance of bovine flatulence: If they ever had it, they'd have used it already.

#8 Arab bloviation. To carry out an act, you need both intent and capability. We know they have the intent. If they had the capability, they would have already used it. No sale.

#10 Sheikh Mohammed, the self-professed criminal mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, has been held at Guantanamo since 2006

I assume it was in 2006 or shortly thereafter that this threat was revealed. Certainly we were discussing the possibility of suitcase nukes as far back as 2004, here at Rantburg. As I recall, it was decided that Al Qaeda couldn't possibly have the highly trained technicians necessary to perform the frequent maintenance required to keep such things from turning into radioactive paperweights.
