'American Hiroshima' linked with Iran attack Pakistani journalist who met bin Laden confirms al-Qaida nukes, says they may already be in U.S.

Osama bin Laden recording released on al-Jazeera network

Al-Qaida has already obtained nuclear suitcase weapons from the Russian black market, weapons tested in Afghanistan in 2000, and they may have already been forward-deployed inside the U.S., according to the only journalist to interview Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in the wake of Sept. 11.

Last week, Hamid Mir's credibility skyrocketed when he accurately predicted in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin and later in WND the imminent release of a new recorded communiqué from bin Laden through al-Jazeera, the Arabic TV network. Two days later, bin Laden's tape was the focus of international news coverage.

"If you think that my information and analysis about bin Laden's location is correct," said Hamid Mir, "then please don't underestimate my analysis about his nuclear threat also."

Mir said that he met with an Egyptian engineer last week who lost an eye after one of bin Laden's nuclear tests in the Kunar province of Pakistan. The Pakistani journalist said the encounter with the engineer greatly disturbed and depressed him since it provided further assurance that a nuclear nightmare for America is about to dawn.

Mir believes that an "American Hiroshima" will occur as soon as the U.S. launches an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

"Al-Qaida and Iran," he says, "have a long, secret relationship." "American Hiroshima" is the name al-Qaida leaders chose for their long-planned nuclear attack on the U.S.

The relationship between Iran and bin Laden dates back to June 21, 1996, when bin Laden attended a terror summit in Tehran. The gathering attracted terror leaders from various places throughout the world, including Ramadan Shallah (the Palestinian Islamic Jihad), Ahmad Salah (Egyptian Islamic Jihad), Imad al-Alami and Mustafa al-Liddawi (Hamas), Ahmad Jibril (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), Abdallah Ocalan (the Kurdish People Party), Muhammad Ali Ahmad (al Qaida), and Imad Mugniyah (Hezbollah). The summit resulted in the creation of the "Committee of Three" that would meet on a regular basis for the "coordination, planning and execution of attacks" against the United States and Israel. The committee members were Ahmad Salah, Imad Mugniyah and bin Laden.

Mir's position that al-Qaida's nuclear weapons may have already been forward-deployed to the United States confirms the report of Sharif al-Masri, a key al-Qaida operative who was arrested in Pakistan in November 2000.

Al Masri, an Egyptian national with ties to al-Zawahiri, said that al-Qaida had made arrangements to smuggle nuclear weapons and supplies to Mexico. From Mexico, he said, the weapons were to be transported across the border and into the United States with the help of a Latino street gang.

Mir also maintains that numerous sleeper agents are in place in major cities throughout the United States to prepare for the nuclear holocaust. Many of these agents, he says, are Algerians and Chechens who obtained European passports and are posing as Christian and Jews.

He further says that many of these agents have been in the United States since bin Laden's issuance of his "Declaration of War on Americans Occupying the Country of the Two Holy Places." That fatwa was issued Aug. 23, 1996.

We have been in conversations recently at my office - commenting on the sudden arrogence/bravado coming from Iran. Several made the comments, "it is almost as if Iran already had the weapons."

What is giving the lunatic president of Iran the confidence? He is insane (obviously) - or might at least HE think this is true?

Thank you, Jimmy Carter.

I am obviously not an expert ... but I sense the false male macho Islamic bravado that turns out to be a bunch of Shiite in the end.

Bush would rather cower behind the skirts of the U.N.

He has become a pathetic figure.

While I agree that that false bravado is prevalent amongst these idiots, and I suspect Iran and Al Qaida have no reason to wait for a strike on Iran to detonate their nuke, I also must say that the ability to smuggle one into the US has got to be a cake walk.

They might believe they have nukes in our country, but I suspect Al Qaeda is reaching the point where it is more bluster and bluff than substance.

If there were nukes in our country, they'd have used them before the last election. They'd have used them to try and get our President. The fact that they haven't used them yet, means they don't have them, or can't get them into the country.

Of course, now that the liberal leakers have demolished the effectiveness of our secret interrogation prisons, and our eavesdropping program... It just got a heck of a lot harder to stop terrorist attacks aimed at American soil.

World Nut Daily have been pushing Nuke Suitcase bomb stories even before they were pushing Y2K stories.

Mostly in agreement with you. My only difference is with targeting. We may be the Great Satan but we're #2 on the target list. If they had nuke(s) Israel would be a parking lot. They are single minded in their hatred, so there is no way they would pass on that opportunity.

I don't know if I buy this. Lots of folks in government are going around pounding their chests and saying "see, we've got 'em on the run because we haven't been hit since 9/11".

One thing a lot of folks seem to forget is the plot that lead to 9/11 was YEARS in the making. Our enemy is patient and willing to wait until the time is right and I think that is exactly what is happening now.

Joseph Farah / WordNetDaily has been pushing this suitcase nuke story for years. I think those suitcase nukes, if they ever existed, wound up in the lost/unclaimed luggage department at the airport.

I don't know, but would think so if they were unshielded, but not much if shielded. I don't see your point. Surely it is not that they could not possibly be in the country because of that.

"From Mexico, he said, the weapons were to be transported across the border and into the United States with the help of a Latino street gang."

Family values don't stop at the US/Mexican border and it appears neither do suitcases nukes or terrorists. Thanks alot Washington D.C.

I agree with you on that actually. I was just running with the premise outlined in the article that we were the target.

At the moment, I'm sure the terrorists think that if they can take us out, the world won't blink when they take out Israel. Taking out the U.S. would be key in securing mass support for attacking Israel anyhow. If anything, they'd threaten and bully the Muslims into joining or dying... using nuclear bully sticks.

What I think is most likely is that if Iran gets nuclear weapons, it will hold its own cities hostage against American action. If we bomb their nuclear program, they kill a few million Iranians, and maybe nuke Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq in the bargain. That way, they can make it look like our fault.
