Nuclear Terrorism Within America a Certainty posted by editor - 3 June, 2004
A nuclear attack by terrorists against the United States is inevitable, according to an American international relations expert visiting the University of Canterbury.
Professor Terry Nardin, a political scientist from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, is using his six-week visit as a Canterbury Fellow to teach theories of international relations.
He will also give two public lectures. The first, this Thursday evening, will look at the influence of religion on international affairs. The second, next Thursday, will consider the cultural impact of the September 11 terror attacks. Last week the US Attorney General, John Ashcroft, said credible intelligence from multiple sources indicated that the al Qaeda terror network was planning an attack on the US in the next few months.
Professor Nardin believes that despite the intelligence sources of the US authorities, terrorist organisations such as al Qaeda are still capable of planning and carrying out attacks.
“I see a kind of offence-defence race. We’re busy defending ourselves in ways that we’ve thought of and Al Qaeda people, who are smart, are busy thinking of ways to get around it.
“There are so many weapons floating around, there’s so little control over nuclear material, biological weapons and so forth, I think it’s only a matter of time before there is some catastrophic event.
“It’s not difficult to transport nuclear materials or biological materials around. There may be a gesture of inspecting aircraft luggage and so on but the whole world container trade goes on so people move around and things move around. “

Spain Alerts Italy and the UK about Imminent AQ Attacks

Two Islamist cells with logistical support have been found in [Spain].
Police in Spain, Italy and the UK have been working around the clock to localize several cells of Ansar al Islam, some of whose members have already been identified, who intend to commit attacks against British and Italian targets during President Bush’s trip to Europe, antiterrorist sources have informed La Razón. These groups are composed primarily of Algerian fundamentalists, although there are also some Moroccans, and they were trained in the camps of Afghanistan.
The alarm sounded in Europe upon the receipt of completely reliable information that several cells of Ansar al Islam, the terrorist group in the Al Qaeda network led by the Jordanian terrorist Mohammed al Zarkawi, is planning to commit large-scale attacks in Italy and the UK. The “commandos” have operational and logistical support in Spain, where they may have obtained money and some of the false documentation they use. In theory, according to the sources, it is not believed that they are going to carry out attacks in Spain, although any scenario is possible, given the dangerous nature of the Islamists.
Current investigations are directed at localizing, as soon as possible, a group of Algerian extremists who are already in the UK and Italy to attempt to carry out attacks in the next few days, coinciding with the European tour that the leader of the US begins in Italy tomorrow. The police of these countries, with the close cooperation of the Spanish police, have managed to identify some of the terrorists, some of whom may be Moroccan.
These are experienced terrorists who, according to the sources, received their training in the Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, where they learned techniques for the manufacture and placement of explosives and highly destructive weapons.
In May, Judge Baltsar Garzón of the Audiencia Nacional sent three Algerians and one Spaniard to prison for their alleged connection with a terrorist group related to Al Qaeda, and he asked the UK to hand over the alleged head of the group, Heidi Ben Youssef Boudhiba, alias “Fathi,” who is being held in [England] and who has been connected with the cell that attempted to carry out a ricin attack in London.
Sad, but true article.
Am I the only one thinking this way . . .
It seems to me . . . that if one takes all the . . . pontifications, terrorists claims, noise, etc. . . .
even subtracting some for disinformation . . .
There's still a goodly amount of stuff distilling out which would indicate a nuke or 3 on USA cities is coming. PERIOD.
Sounds to me like . . . the puppet masters have decided to sacrifice a few USA cities to rush along WWIII and the global government.
Anyone else had such a wild thought?
