"I'm concerned about the rumored subs OBL purchased."

I remember a few years ago, a Columbian drug dealer was busted on a sting with a nonnuclear sub he was going to use to run submerged heroin. The source that provided the sub was a Russiam arms dealer. The price was a bargain basement five million dollars, U.S.
