Bin Laden wants nukes: Canadian intelligence

OTTAWA (CP) - Canadian spies have been pondering one of the more chilling questions of the post-9/11 era: Does Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida have briefcase-sized nuclear weapons?
A newly obtained intelligence report examines the intriguing notion and concludes that whatever the answer, the terrorist network is intent on acquiring nuclear means. The assessment revives concerns that emerged as early as 1992 when Stanislav Lunev, a former Russian military intelligence officer, claimed his country's intelligence services had lost many of the portable, backpack-style devices, which weigh about 55 kilograms.

Locked and loaded, the fur will fly!
Interesting find Davey, thanks.
OK, so..we waited patiently for the reported new UBL tape to come out today.
Where in the heck is it? Or is there even "really" a new tape?
(I read that Al Jazeera was asked to embargo it for 24 hours, but that was yesterday..)
Oh my! Guess the gophers have upgraded since the last time I went out and plunked them with my .22
Lastest is that the impending death of Arafat has caused it to be held up further.
Thanks.
I guess I do remember reading something about that.
Wonder what the link there is?
Keep checking www.trackingterrorism.com
They are maintaining the lead on the story.
Other speculation is al-j is waiting to air the tape until Airafat is really, really dead.
Some of the columns I've read in past months suggested Tony Blair has been making friends with Kerry.....which may explain his pallid complexion after the election.
Out here in Washington the gophers are pretty darn spunky
You ain't kidding DC!!!
I can take it though.
Thick Skin.
Thanks
I guess so?????????
Thanks UK Guy...Kristian's posts are a hoot! I like her reports about what could be rioting Muslims in France for Arafat. The French rats will only receive what they deserve.
I have a few friends in Sweden; and many have said the same thing as Kristian, with regard their happiness that we re-elected "W".
thanks. I talked ot the Dr. finally this afternoon. Something about the third tumor they found now makes him ineligible for a transplant?? So I guess we just have to live with it. But he said a lot of people do for many years. So. That's all the new news I have. Thanks again for the hope & prayers eveyone. They do help.
That's so cute!
LOL! Just teasing.
Me too :-) Can't help it. It's the stinker in me.
No, it's not just you.
