Not in this case, though.

Reports reveal Zarqawi nuclear threat

By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Senior U.S. intelligence and security officials said in congressional testimony in February that a terrorist attack with weapons of mass destruction -- nuclear, chemical or biological arms -- is likely. CIA Director Porter J. Goss said such a terrorist strike "may be only a matter of time."

WOW, how horrific.

[Velveeta]

Little more info here:

" A United Airline jetliner carrying 74 people made an emergency landing Tuesday at O'Hare International after suspicious material was found on the New York to San Francisco flight, a spokesman said.

A passenger aboard the Flight 27 informed a flight attendant that he saw another passenger with suspicious material, United spokesman Jeff Green said. Green said that after the flight attendant and crew examined the material and deemed it suspicious, the pilot landed the aircraft at O'Hare, where the Chicago Police Bomb and Arson squad investigated.

Green and Chicago police would not say what the material was or if anyone was taken into custody.

Something about Ziyad...
Subject: Ziyad Khalil aka Ziyad Sadaqa
Status: Deceased
Description: Ziyad lived in Columbia, Missouri for a time, and while there managed the website of the Islamic American Relief Agency. Ziyad ran a local office of the Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights (CDLR). Ziyad bought the satellite phone and air time used by Osama bin Laden to plan and carry out the bombings at the US embassies in Africa in 1998. Finally, Ziyad registered and was listed as the first administrator of the palestine-info.com and palestine-info.net domains of Hamas. Regarding the last item, I'd like to add the following to the public record:
