Al-Qaeda's Terrifying Vision of a Devastated America in the Wake of a Nuclear Attack
dailymail.co.uk ^ | May 29, 2008 | Barry Wigmore

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.

“A US response to such an attack would shake the world to its foundations, with Syria, Iran, Gaza, West Bank and Eastern Pakistan reduced to ashes.”

And maybe if we’re lucky we’ll add Cuba, Venezuala and Somolia to the list...while we’re in the mood for a$$-kicking we may as well take these regimes down as well.

Haven’t they hit on 9-11,3-11,and 12-11?

I’m concerned about 6-11.

I’m I worrying too much?

As if this is a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention.

If they could have obtained nuclear weapons on 9/11, they would have used them instead.

The Iwo Jima Memorial and the Air Force Memorial would be vaporized.

If the Iwo Jima Memrial is harmed in any way there will be no need for nukes - Marines from far and wide will each get cans of AVGas and their trusty Zippos and burn everything from the Suez Canal to Pakistan.

Send hundreds of copies to the DNC and to each member of Congress especially Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, Osama Obama (the surrender king), Kennedy, Kerry, Murtha, and the rest of the Al Qaeda lovers who never met a terrorist they didn’t feel sorry for.

They should post some pictures of the world's economy utterly collapsing and most of the 3rd world dying from starvation and disease. It's inevitable without the US economy.

If we have a nuclear attack on Washington, DC, the first thing the people at the Nuclear Emergency Search Team (NEST) will determine is the source of the fissile material. This is not that hard to do since they can determine the impurities from the remains of the fissile material, which will trace where the material was originally manufactured. If they trace it to Iran, the city of Tehran and the holy city of Qom will soon find out the effects of a B83 nuclear bomb detonated at 1 MT yield dropped from a B-2 bomber.

Actually, Washington DC is so dirty and corrupt, this would be considered Urban Renewal!
