WASHINGTON - The FBI is creating a new weapons of mass destruction section to address growing concerns that terrorists will try to detonate a dirty bomb or launch a chemical or biological attack in the United States, The Post has learned.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "FBI counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence chief Larry Mefford said the feds know that al Qaeda terrorists are trying to obtain weapons of mass destruction and would like nothing better than to use them to kill thousands of Americans.

"Obviously they have an interest, and that alone is reason enough to take the threat very seriously," Mefford told The Post.

But he added, "I'm not aware of any imminent or specific threats" with weapons of mass destruction."

Well, isn't this special.

Three years after known muslim terrorists who've broadcassted to the world exactly what they're going to do, do it, and dirty nuke Manhattan...we'll have the intrepid lads at the FBI interviewing some muslims in-between sensitivity training classes from CAIR and muellerian meetings with the AMC.

I feel safer already.

Thank G-d we're not at war with a ferocious, determined, well-financed, capable internetworking of international terrorist entities linked by religious zeal.
