As I understand it a "suitcase nuke" would be about the size of a small refrigerator. Then there's the problem of maintaining a nuke. Ive read that a nuke requires some pretty intensive maintenance that requires someone pretty highly trained to do it.

"...a nuke requires some pretty intensive maintenance that requires someone pretty highly trained to do it."

And al qaeda is not an uneducated and untrained group of thugs, as we know. Many key leaders are highly educated hold degrees and are highly skilled. Even the 19 killers on 911 were educated.

There are many nuke techs out there from Pakistan, North Korea, Russis, etc. We hope such a collaboration didn't / doesn't come true, but how can we count it out? That would be foolhardy.
