Columbia Scientists Prepare for a Threat: A Dirty Bomb
By LISA W. FODERARO

During World War II, scientists from the Center for Radiological Research
http://crr-cu.org/ in Manhattan toiled on the Manhattan Project, working
feverishly to develop an atomic bomb
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/t/times_square_bomb_attempt_may_1_2010/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier before Nazi
Germany did.
Some 70 years later, physicists from the center, now part of Columbia
University Medical
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/c/columbia_university/index.html?inline=nyt-org
Center, are once again racing
against time. But their work today centers on containing the damage from a
much smaller and less sophisticated weapon: the dirty bomb, a crude
explosive rigged to spray radioactive material.

Illegal immigration is not just about poor workers seeking a better life.
It’s now also about Iran-backed Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists organizing in
Latin America to penetrate the U.S.-Mexico border and generate drug profits
to finance and carry out terrorist attacks against the U.S.
This week, Mexico announced it had arrested Jameel Nasr, the reputed
Hezbollah leader in Latin America, at his home in Tijuana, a stone’s throw
from the border separating that Mexican city and San Diego, Calif.
It looks like the much maligned Rep. Sue Myrick (R.-N.C.) was right.
In a letter criticised by the left, Myrick warned Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano in June of the collusion between Hezbollah and
the Mexican drug cartels, urging her to establish an inter-agency task force
to “clamp down” on this “national security” threat.
