Abu Mohammed al-Ablaj is on record as saying that al-Qaeda has access to at least some portion of the old Iraqi arsenal and has openly admitted working with Saddam Hussein. He's also the one who threatened to use sarin against us a few months back in addition to poisoning our water supply.

FairOpinion and JustPiper, I would refer you both to that earlier thread from the Washington Post a few months ago about the info on al-Qaeda's WMD program that was found on Khalid's computer.

Thanks for the reminder Angel-us

Thanks for the reminder. I couldn't find the thread, but I found an article talking about it.

WMD terrorism: The next phase?
June 18, 2003

"Moreover, new intelligence reports following the capture of Al Qaeda operations chief Khalid Sheik Mohammed in March suggest the organization has a more advanced biological- and chemical-weapons program than the scientific community previously believed. Seized documents, computer drives, and debriefings of Mohammed point to various plans and stockpiled materials for the manufacture of botulinum, salmonella toxins, and cyanide, as well as a production plan for anthrax.

In sum, each of the paths for a terrorist group to use WMD has varying levels of probability. There is no consensus, yet, on the strength of the links between terrorists and WMD. But there's little doubt that, left unchecked, terrorist groups will gain the sophistication needed to acquire and deliver WMD. Indeed, in May, exercises by the Department of Homeland Security to simulate a bio-terror attack of pneumonic plague in Chicago and a "dirty bomb" in Seattle testify that the threat from weapons of mass destruction is being taken seriously."

NO NO NO1 This is not possible as I heard on NPR tow weeks ago that there never was any connection between Iraq and al-Qaeda, and if you can't trust NPR who can you trust?
