Al-Qaïda's nuclear ambitions are feeding the war against Pakistan

Referring to the Russian news agency Novosti, the website Elaph.com underscores the fact that the military commander of Al-Qaïda in Afghanistan, Mustapha Abou Al-Yazid, has revealed the ambitions of his organisation for the possession of nuclear weapons. These ambitions have fed the war against the pakistani regime.

Abou Al-Yazid has stressed that the pakistani nuclear arsenal will not fall in the hands of the americans, but will be used by the moudjahidin against them. He emphasized that the islamic fighters were as close as 120km from one of the main nuclear bases before the pakistani army started its counter offensive in may.

Several experts think nevertheless that the pakistani nuclear weapons are well secured and the army is well and strongly deployed around the strategic sites. Furthermore, Al-Qaïda does not have the required knowledge in order to use nuclear weapons even if it could get a hold of them. It does not have the material means to transport them as well. But Abou Al-Yazid is optimistic, hoping that Al-Qaïda and its pakistani allies (the Taliban) will be able to topple the regime in Islamabad, beat its army and control the country and its nuclear weapons.

Yes, but when the army itself is credited with creating the Taleban, and several retired officers, including the chief of the Pakistani intelligence service were considered instrumental in aiding the 9/11 attacks, then where are we with this sort of security? I say we take control of the nukes!

SNIPPET from post no. 1: “But Abou Al-Yazid is optimistic...”

OPINION:

Yazeed (Yazid) is a loser and I’m optimistic, too...that he will eventually suffer the ultimate loss.

We will get the nukes of Pakistan one way or the other. Hopefully undetonated and not over American soil.

Isn't this kind of information "for sale" by Russian scientists/mobsters?
