FROM JOSEPH FARAH'S G2 BULLETIN Al-Qaida nukes already in U.S. Terrorists, bombs smuggled across Mexico border by MS-13 gangsters Posted: July 11, 2005 12:22 p.m. Eastern

WASHINGTON – As London recovers from the latest deadly al-Qaida attack that killed at least 50, top U.S. government officials are contemplating what they consider to be an inevitable and much bigger assault on America – one likely to kill millions, destroy the economy and fundamentally alter the course of history, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

According to captured al-Qaida leaders and documents, the plan is called the "American Hiroshima" and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. over the Mexican border with the help of the MS-13 street gang and other organized crime groups.

Al-Qaida has obtained at least 40 nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union – including suitcase nukes, nuclear mines, artillery shells and even some missile warheads. In addition, documents captured in Afghanistan show al-Qaida had plans to assemble its own nuclear weapons with fissile material it purchased on the black market.

In addition to detonating its own nuclear weapons already planted in the U.S., military sources also say there is evidence to suggest al-Qaida is paying former Russian special forces Spetznaz to assist the terrorist group in locating nuclear weapons formerly concealed inside the U.S. by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Osama bin Laden's group is also paying nuclear scientists from Russia and Pakistan to maintain its existing nuclear arsenal and assemble additional weapons with the materials it has invested hundreds of millions in procuring over a period of 10 years.

The plans for the devastating nuclear attack on the U.S. have been under development for more than a decade. It is designed as a final deadly blow of defeat to the U.S., which is seen by al-Qaida and its allies as "the Great Satan."

At least half the nuclear weapons in the al-Qaida arsenal were obtained for cash from the Chechen terrorist allies.

But the most disturbing news is that high level U.S. officials now believe at least some of those weapons have been smuggled into the U.S. for use in the near future in major cities as part of this "American Hiroshima" plan, according to an upcoming book, "The al-Qaida Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime and the Coming Apocalypse," by Paul L. Williams, a former FBI consultant.

According to Williams, former CIA Director George Tenet informed President Bush one month after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that at least two suitcase nukes had reached al-Qaida operatives in the U.S.

"Each suitcase weighed between 50 and 80 kilograms (approximately 110 to 176 pounds) and contained enough fissionable plutonium and uranium to produce an explosive yield in excess of two kilotons," wrote Williams. "One suitcase bore the serial number 9999 and the Russian manufacturing date of 1988. The design of the weapons, Tenet told the president, is simple. The plutonium and uranium are kept in separate compartments that are linked to a triggering mechanism that can be activated by a clock or a call from the cell phone."

According to the author, the news sent Bush "through the roof," prompting him to order his national security team to give nuclear terrorism priority over every other threat to America.

However, it is worth noting that Bush failed to translate this policy into securing the U.S.-Mexico border through which the nuclear weapons and al-Qaida operatives are believed to have passed with the help of the MS-13 smugglers. He did, however, order the building of underground bunkers away from major metropolitan areas for use by federal government managers following an attack.

Bin Laden, according to Williams, has nearly unlimited funds to spend on his nuclear terrorism plan because he has remained in control of the Afghanistan-produced heroin industry. Poppy production has greatly increased even while U.S. troops are occupying the country, he writes. Al-Qaida has developed close relations with the Albanian Mafia, which assists in the smuggling and sale of heroin throughout Europe and the U.S.

Some of that money is used to pay off the notorious MS-13 street gang between $30,000 and $50,000 for each sleeper agent smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico. The sleepers are also provided with phony identification, most often bogus matricula consular ID cards indistinguishable from Mexico's official ID, now accepted in the U.S. to open bank accounts and obtain driver's licenses.

The Bush administration's unwillingness to secure the U.S.-Mexico border has puzzled and dismayed a growing number of activists and ordinary citizens who see it as the No. 1 security threat to the nation. The Minuteman organization is planning a major mobilization of thousands of Americans this fall designed to shut down the entire 2,000-mile border as it did in April with a 23-mile stretch in Arizona.

According to Williams' sources, thousands of al-Qaida sleeper agents have now been forward deployed into the U.S. to carry out their individual roles in the coming "American Hiroshima" plan.

Bin Laden's goal, according to the book, is to kill at least 4 million Americans, 2 million of whom must be children. Only then, bin Laden has said, would the crimes committed by America on the Arab and Muslim world be avenged.

There is virtually no doubt among intelligence analysts al-Qaida has obtained fully assembled nuclear weapons, according to Williams. The only question is how many. Estimates range between a dozen and 70. The breathtaking news is that an undetermined number of these weapons, including suitcase bombs, mines and crude tactical nuclear weapons, have already been smuggled into the U.S. – at least some across the U.S.-Mexico border.

The future plan, according to captured al-Qaida agents and documents, suggests the attacks will take place simultaneously in major cities throughout the country – including New York, Boston, Washington, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles.

In response to the G2 Bulletin revelations, Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a citizen action group demanding the U.S. government take control of its borders, said an immediate military presence on the borders is now imperative "to stop the overwhelming influx of unidentified, potentially hostile and seditious persons coming across at an alarming rate."

"Terrorists have carte blanche to carry practically anything they want across our national line at this time," he said. "As ordinary citizens have warned this government for years, the only surprising part about the new information reported here is that nothing apocalyptic from Mexican-border weapons trafficking has yet happened. Terrorism has reared its ugly head in London again these past few days, and as we know all too well we are not immune in this country. At this point, the next attempt to attack America at home is just a matter of 'when,' not 'if.' And our unsecured borders have surely contributed to this threat – yet our government officials continue to fiddle while our nation's margin of security and safety burns away. The president and Congress had better wake up before they have to answer for another devastating terrorist incursion on our own soil."

Just as it is possible for a terrorist to plan an attack it is also possible to stop an attack or at least minimize casualties. We only make much easier for the terrorists if we have a defeatist attitude. World War II happened long before I was born but I do know during that time all of America was threatened by the Nazi's and Japan, forces far more powerful than the terrorists.
Civilians didn't sit back and let German spies wander the country. German spies were spotted by civilians entering the country on Long Island. The spies were eventually caught and executed.

Civilians also formed the Civil Defense(CD). Each neighborhood had its own Warden. Air raid drills were practiced on a regular basis in case German or Japanese bombers tried to drop bombs on the country. The warden was responsible for making sure everyone in the neighborhood either drew their shades or turned off all lights as soon as the air raid siren went off.

Obviously this is a different type of war and the format for Civil Defense would have to change but at least the citizens were alert and had a plan to save lives. We could do the same.

It seems to me, that the assumption that if AQ had nukes here, they'd have used them already

is a lot more . . . suspect

than the article we are discussing.

And based on far less.

Seems to me it's based more on wishful thinking than hard evidence.

Yes, I've read all the seemingly solid rationale about the technology.

Actually, if my understanding is correct, there have been solid nuke scares as far back as Ford's term. Who knows whether anything was found on any of them, or not.

I'm still not clear on something.

I've read in different articles that Billdo and Shrillery removed nukes from our active subs, planes etc. and placed them in storage

AND more alarmingly,

that Bush has not replaced them on our subs, planes etc.

What's the truth?

I think it's possibly wishful thinking because your conclusion seems to be that because they haven't detonated them, they aren't here.

I don't buy that assumption at any level of conviction.

I suppose I could be glad it seems to be comforting to you. But actually, that assumption is a little alarming, to me.

Believe me.... 20 minutes after they have an a-bomb here, they will detonate it.

No, I don't believe you.

I believe that they are greatly more calculating, methodical and patient than you seem to think they are--by a wide margin.

I believe the evidence on that score is much in my favor. As is their psychology--something I am more knowledgeable on.

If you're detonating an a-bomb, patience is irrelevant.

"Believe me.... 20 minutes after they have an a-bomb here, they will detonate it."

Very true, not only would we retaliate very quickly, would you also have anarchy against the religion of "peace".

During the cold war we had plans to nuke the allies of the USSR if we were to be hit with a nuke. I would reason that we have a similar plan for terror sponsoring countries and their friends.

I recall seeing this story, almost exactly, on 9/12. It freaked me out then, but I am of the belief that they will use one when they get one.

I dont wish for it to happen, but I think it would have happened now if it was ready.

How is patience irrelevant?

Particularly if one wants to coordinate with a number of other efforts in the USA as well as around the world?

AND

IF one wants to insure maximum impact in the news as well as in terms of devastation on a range of carefully selected ground zero's etc.

I do think they would prefer to have 5-6 go off at once, but the risks of being caught are very high.

One thing about 9-11 that was clear was how simple it was. Bin Laden vetoed a more complex plan becasue it was too risky and he didnt want to get caught.

Sneaking 5-6 bombs over the border one at a time, planting them and waiting for some future opportunity to use them seems very risky with a high degree of being caught.

Better to get one sail into NYC harbour and detonate it.

That is probably true. If there are six bombs being smuggled separately and one is intercepted, the country would turn itself inside out to find any more. The effort would be extreme, to say the least.

You could certainly be right.

I do suspect the future will unfold differently than you expect.

Zahawri originally wanted to hijack 10 planes, crash 9 of them and then land the 10th and read a message to the media. Bin Laden thought it was ridiculous and would be foiled. He went with 4 planes and no airport press conference.

I am sure they would prefer 5-6, but the risk is too high.

I also think the idea of 1950s and 1960s era USSR nukes being planted is just an urban myth.

Does anyone seriously think Al Qaeda has had nukes in the USA for five years and not used them while we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, hunted them down and killed 2/3 of their leadership?

Yes, al Qaeda is not know for premature detonation ;-)

Some people say, "If they had them , they would have used them by now"
Hiroshima was bombed on Aug. 6, 1945
Sixty years ago next month.
America's Hiroshima?
Guess we have to wait and see.
