'Al-Qaida on brink of using nuclear bomb'

Al-Qaida is on the verge of producing radioactive weapons after sourcing nuclear material and recruiting rogue scientists to build "dirty" bombs, according to leaked diplomatic documents.

A leading atomic regulator has privately warned that the world stands on the brink of a "nuclear 9/11".

Security briefings suggest that jihadi groups are also close to producing "workable and efficient" biological and chemical weapons that could kill thousands if unleashed in attacks on the West.

Thousands of classified American cables obtained by the WikiLeaks website and passed to The Daily Telegraph detail the international struggle to stop the spread of weapons-grade nuclear, chemical and biological material around the globe.

At a Nato meeting in January 2009, security chiefs briefed member states that al-Qaida was plotting a program of "dirty radioactive IEDs", makeshift nuclear roadside bombs that could be used against British troops in Afghanistan.

As well as causing a large explosion, a "dirty bomb" attack would contaminate the area for many years.

The briefings also state that al-Qaida documents found in Afghanistan in 2007 revealed that "greater advances" had been made in bioterrorism than was previously realized.

In one incident in September 2009, two employees at the Rossing Uranium Mine in Namibia smuggled almost half a ton of uranium concentrate powder - yellowcake - out of the compound in plastic bags.

Just send Joe Wilson over for a few cups of tea. He'll get to the bottom of it.

From your link:

In one incident in September 2009, two employees at the Rossing Uranium Mine in Namibia smuggled almost half a ton of uranium concentrate powder - yellowcake - out of the compound in plastic bags.

Anthrax and other biological agents including smallpox, and avian flu could be sprayed from a shop-bought aerosol can in a crowded area, leaked security briefings warn.

The security of the world's only two declared smallpox stores in Atlanta, America, and Novosibirsk, Russia, has repeatedly been called into doubt by "a growing chorus of voices" at meetings of the World Health Assembly documented in the leaked cables.

BO doesn’t care about Americans, he believes our lives have been completely furnished by pilfering the 3rd world and that we deserve what we get. BO will have to be out of office by election, impeachment, or coup before we’d retaliate.

These people will never stop and so called moderate muslims will not help us stop them.

The extermination of the entire muslim faith must be on the table as a retaliation if they unleash one of these weapons.

Big Sis would unleash a severe admonishment. Perhaps even a tongue-lashing if enough Americans were to die.

Mighty wishful thinking.

Either way, I think the west should forcibly repossess and repatriate their nuclear technology that sits in Pakistanian and Iranian hands...cuzz one day in the not so distant future, its a coming out to be used on the west and Israel.

“One hit in the US...and Bye Bye Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iranistan, somaliastan...and deep , deep hole where Mecca stood.”

I don’t believe this would happen with Zero in office. All of the Crapistan regions have nothing to fear for the next two years. Hell, we’re backing the brotherhood in Egypt! Imagine what Israel must be thinking right now. They must be scrambling to fortify their borders. The brotherhood, just yesterday, made the statement: “Prepare for war with Israel”.

Bibi knows he can not rely on the U.S. anytime in the near future. Prayers for Israel!

Eventually, we’ll all be assuming what posterity (if there is any) will come to call “The Obama Position.”

That is, all Americans can spread their legs, bend over, and kiss their *sses good-bye.

Americans wanted an utterly gormless president, and now they’ve got one.

Buh-bye!
