In 2001, BBC reported about Bin Laden saying in some Pakistani newspaper interview that he had nukes amd would use them if the US would use chemical or nuclear weapons first. Of course there are translation difficulties again.

Anyway, I think it is improbable that Al Quaeda uses Nukes or chemical weapons. I thinks this kind of weaponry would cost him too many sympathies in the Muslim world and an organisation like his is too heavily reliant on the support.

I agree with this. On the other hand the majority of the Muslim world think the Jews in collaboration with Bush were responsible for 9/11. Osamas Hiroshima reference has meaning though. I have always thougt it is a means to pave the way and justify a nuclear first strike if he ever decides conditions are ripe and he can get away with it.

I don't think it would cost him anything in the Muslim world at all. If it tipped one way or the other, he would probably gain a little support.

If OBL had nukes he would use them. Muslims would be dancing in the streets, again. He would not lose support, but gain many more adherents.
