Islamabad, 2 May (AKI) - Osama bin Laden possesses a "dirty bomb" and nuclear devices bought on the Russian black market prior to 2001, according to Hamid Mir, the journalist who interviewed bin Laden shortly after the 11 September attacks. "Material useful for building a dirty bomb was smuggled from Russia to Georgia and then on to Afghanistan," Mir said in an interview with the website of satellite network al-Arabiya. He added that the device was built with various materials, including uranium, by an Egyptian engineer known as Saad. "I met this engineer only once, in 2000, when the Taliban controlled Kabul" he said.
In the interview, Mir also said the Saudi terror leader had changed his mind at the last minute on the idea of making one of the hijacked 11 September planes crash into a US nuclear plant.
The Pakistani journalist, also said he has precise and up-to-date information on how the Saudi terror leader lives.
"Last September I met the bodyguard of Osama Bin Laden, Abu Hamza, who told me that he had married an Afghan woman with whom he had three children. On the same day he told me of the death of one of Bin Laden's wives during childbirth in a mountainous zone where there were no doctors. It seemed that her death was not a major problem for bin Laden as death in childbirth is quite frequent among Afghan women," Mir recounted.
It is unclear to which of bin Laden's wives his bodyguard was referring, even if it seems probably it was the daughter of Abu Hafs al-Masri.
Abu Hamza al-Jazeeri - an Algerian who in 2003 was in Iraq but later returned to Afghanistan - also indicated that combatants go from Afghanistan to Iraq and back through Iran.

My information still leads me to believe we should be more concerned with suitcase nukes. But if you are really concerned, maybe you can get yourself one of these handy dandy Micro Dirty Bomb Key Fobs to carry around with you ; )
I do apologize, but just I can't help being a smartass sometimes, living with my hubby will do that to a person, LOL!
Strongly suggest you make a Barnes/Noble run and read:

If he had had the dirty bomb on 9/11/2001, he would have used it...now, he's hiding in caves with more and more of his aides and leutenants getting the "72 virgin" service every day! In Iraq, Zarquawi is getting more and more desperate because the same scenario is happpening and he's more in the open than Bin Laden. Personally, I think we ought to just MOAB the entire border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan because there are more enemies there than everywhere else put together!
OBL remains dead. The Alqaida dirty bomb, if ever used, would bring the rapid end of islamic terrorism since the entire civilized world would come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Yes, and this has to be repeated frequently (at least once per day on FR) to westerners who don't understand the Islamic concept of eternal patience.
Why do you say that? Did the U.S. and Britain use every weapon in their inventory when invading Iraq?
Besides, a dirty bomb would result in few if any more immediate casualties than any conventional bomb of the same size.
The main effect would be to make the area off-limits for a period of time.
I thought that 'whacky' guy that's always by his side is a doctor. Isn't that what they keep telling us.

The US and Britain aren't having their command and control structure steadily chopped to bits, and thus aren't under the same use-it-or-lose-it pressure.
That point seems applicable now, but not in mid 2001, when Al-Qaeda was not under any great onslaught. Besides, I suspect that there is enough "free trade" among terrorist groups and supporting states that any destroyed special weapons would be quickly replaced.
And he can't sing worth a crap either, LOL!
I've read the book...it's VERY VERY good...I have a graduate degree and should know...I've read a lot of books
It basically details how America, from presidents Carter thru W., have been acting in the world without the slightest clue about our Islamic enemy...hell it was only till after 9/11 that I even bothered to learn anything about them
I see downthread that somebody remembered the source of that quote.
I don't have a degree, but I have held the hands of military Ph.D.-types (read: handling all their "perceived crises", LOL!) in the human factors/bioeffects research arena for 20 years, so I would trust the military before I trusted any flunky from the FBI, who IMHO, were the ones that didn't have a clue. We were attacked way before 9/11...OKC and the 1993 WTC bombings are just two of those examples. If you like to read, you may want to check out Jayna Davis and Laurie Mylroie's work on this. This war is not about our foreign policy or occupation of foreign lands, it is a holy war where Muslims want to conquer the world and force them to convert to their religion. Anyone that doesn't see that is blind...I loathe the "Blame America" crowd.
he probably does have a dirty bomb, but wont settle for it hence your assertion of hesitation. Releasing a dirty bomb would tip his hand to the west and draw way too much attention, his goal is a nuclear bomb, not a miniscule dirty bomb.
