Am reminded of the old saw
WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY.
Al Qaeda has the money.
Al Qaeda has the will.
Al Qaeda can get the expertise if they haven't learned it themselves. Pakistan is easy enough. Lybia, North Korea have all probably helped out, as has Iran.
Money talks. Money walks, Money flies. Money buys all kinds of things--even rare elements needed for nukes.
Russia is not noted for it's sequestered convent level morality.
Nor is Pakistan. Certainly not North Korea. China would sell lots of their own children for enough money.
I agree it could be even VERY improbable. I don't know that it
IS
VERY
improbable.
It seems to me, it's becoming more and more probable.

I always thought it was "Where there's a will, there's a probate attorney and greedy relatives."

Al Qaeda has the money.Al Qaeda has the will.
Given Laurie Mylorie's interesting hypothesis--supported by some solid evidence--that al-Qaeda is a creation of Iraqi Intelligence...
...maybe they don't have much of either any more.

None of these countries has the expertise needed to make the really small nukes.
Money talks. Money walks, Money flies. Money buys all kinds of things--even rare elements needed for nukes.
Still can't stop tritium decay, though.
