"The report claims Al-Qaeda has already obtained a large number of nuclear weapons currently being maintained by Pakistani and Russian scientists."

Maintained how? Where would they get the "spares"?

And if they have the correct components to perform "maintenance", then are the weapons in Pakistan or Russia and not in the U.S.?

Sounds pretty bogus...

Anyone able to get to the article?

You weren't supposed to notice that part.

At SOME point, someone would f*** up.

I've talked to a Special Forces vet who was assigned to deliver SADMs during the Cold War--he labels this scenario "crap," particularly when you're talking about tens of weapons--because there are so many things that can go wrong.

Two of his questions: "What happens if a terrorist smuggling a SADM gets into a car wreck and is seriously injured? What if a terrorist's truck--with the SADM inside--gets stolen while he's taking a leak?"

Probably in the back room of your local Kwiki Mart or 7-11...
