Osama bin Laden invited two Pakistani atomic scientists to visit a training camp in Afghanistan to discuss how to assemble a bomb using stolen plutonium. Captured al-Qaeda leaders have since confessed to the CIA of their attempts to smuggle a radioactive device into the US.

Yes, didn't you find such a public announcement/invitation odd? Do they REALLY need to broadcast it like that? Or did they do it in order to make it clear that when something does happen, they are responsible? Some other reason?
Oops, this was the quote that I meant to reference:
"Al-Qaeda makes no secret of its desire to obtain a dirty bomb. Last month its leader in Iraq, Abu Hamza alMuhajer, called for scientists to join it and experiment with radioactive devices for use against coalition troops."
