Al-Qaeda's Terrifying Vision of a Devastated America in the Wake of a Nuclear Attack

Washington is laid to waste. The Capitol is a blackened, smoking ruin. The White House has been razed. Countless thousands are dead.

This is the apocalyptic scene terrorists hope to create if they ever get their hands on a nuclear bomb.

The computer-generated image below was posted on an Islamic extremists' website yesterday.

This computer generated image posted on terror forums depict what would happen if a nuclear attack took place in Washington D.C

It appeared as rumours swept the Internet that the FBI was warning that an Al Qaeda video was about to be released urging militants to use weapons of mass destruction to attack the West.

The information was said to be coming from 'groups that monitor Islamic militant websites'.

The FBI was quick to point out that it had not issued any warning and that the video was not an official Al Qaeda release through its media arm, Al Sahab, but simply an ' amateur' collection of old footage spliced together and posted on the Internet.

U.S. analysts said a lot of effort had been put into the video - entitled Nuclear Jihad, The Ultimate Terror - with graphics, music, and clips of different leaders and groups.

The same expertise seems to have gone into creating this image of a devastated Washington.

Al Sahab puts out more than 80 'officially sanctioned' videos a year to keep up the propaganda on the West. And the Internet shows how easy it is to stir up militancy. One message with the Washington picture said: 'The next strike's in the heart of America. When? When? When? And How?'

Last night FBI sources said Al Qaeda was desperate to get its hands on a weapon of mass destruction, be it nuclear, chemical, or biological.

So far that is only a dream... or, as this picture suggests, a nightmare.

And a kid will draw a picture of the pony she wants. Doesn't make it any more likely she will get it.

Wouldn’t do the worlds economies any good if that happened in New York, Paris, Bonn and ROME.. A brief thought about the implications of a “problem” in Rome.. You know just think about it for a minute... (shining glasses) (whistling)... See what I mean..

Uh, the picture looks like the D.C. area as it is today, but just outside of the Beltway. I didn’t hear of a nuke going off there. D.C. and Newark and Detroit; hell, they all look pretty much the same: Ruins.

"A whole week...?"

I think we'd want to find out who built the weapon before we retaliated.

One more image from the site you noted.

[martinidon]

agreed; the only good thing about this would be it would take out all of the democratic congress and President. Lets hope if they succeed everyone is in town......

upcoming game Fallout 3.

Awesome! Didn't know that...I loved fallout 1 & 2.

Very nice post, G.

Thank you. It was from the heart and flew out my fingers.

They are all SO lucky to be alive after 1979, in my book, that they should bow a few extra times in gratitude, and often, that people less moderate and with less grandmotherly kindness than I have are not running the show here.

Really.

Yeah, the first two Fallout games were set on the West Coast, this one is set in DC and Northern Virginia I think.

. A form whose members are recruited from the prisons around the world. A form whose members (some as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week out, year after year, marching in the streets around the world, burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag...

...ie, generally acting like liberals! That said, well written thoughts, all; wonder what the Islamole in Congress would have to say! Just seems that from outward appearances, the good pilot won't have to hold his breath for an answer! He's answered daily!

This scenario becomes more and more likely as the Democrats are poised to gain control of all branches of government. Obama has promised to end monitoring of the terrorists’ communications. In little noted remarks he has also said that the heightened scrutiny of Muslim visa applicants is “profiling” and as such unacceptable. Under Obama , the door to America that was made more secure following the entry of the 19 Muslim mass murderers will be once again be opened wide. The terrorists that Obama releases from GITMO will be eligible for immediate visas to the USA. It will be, in Hussein Obama’s eyes, “the least we can do.”

I’d like to think you were right, but personally, what I see after a nuclear attack is lots of handwringing, obviously lots of taking care of the millions of injured, rebuilding the destroyed areas - and absolutely no military action, except perhaps in our own country. Of course, if Osama Obama’s in charge, he’ll be down having an extra large key to the (former) city of DC being made for his Muslim/Marxist homies.

I can only assume you can believe that simply because when they ‘suggest’ he convert or die, he’ll choose convert.

And the liberal weenies ponder, “What did we do to make them so angry?

Some libs did get it. As the WTC was burning, on WABC someone asked then AM host and lefty Ron Kuby "What do these people want?" Kuby answered "They want to kill all of us!" He got it and gets it when it comes to al Queda.

A glorious day that would be when Al Qaeda rid these United States of the foul cancerous cesspool of traitorous, self-serving politicians infesting Washington, DC. One can only hope it is soon that these slimy scumbags meet their maker!

I thought it had the look of a young ‘commie’ hand (ie, not the hand of a young madrassa student).

You can’t talk to these ‘guys,’ they’re animals who can only be Exterminated.
