Don’t know how credible this is. Don’t think they have the resources/abilities to pull something like this off.

Chicago postmarks. Bill Ayers?

“There are several demands documented that aren’t fully coherent.”

Written by Michael Moore?

The letter inside said, “The Al-Qaeda organization has planted 160 nuclear bombs throughout the U.S. in schools, stadiums, churches, stores, financial institutions and government buildings.” It also said, “This is a suicide mission for us.”

160 nuclear bombs is not credible.

Now, if they had said they had eleventy-skadillion, one hundred and twenty brazillion, four hundred and seventy-seven flopillion nuclear bombs hidden, THAT would have gotten me concerned.

[Walkingfeather]

If you have 160 nukes and you want to destroy america, why tell us?

[KJC1]

This sounds like the plot of a Brad Thor book I read about a year ago...can’t remember the name off hand.

[edpc]

The threats came in the mail and to date, there have been 25 letters that warn of nuclear bombs destroying America.

Were they sent by a Jennings & Rall employee?

The letter inside said, “The Al-Qaeda organization has planted 160 nuclear bombs throughout the U.S. in schools, stadiums, churches, stores, financial institutions and government buildings.” It also said, “This is a suicide mission for us.”

If they said they had one or perhaps two I would be more concerned. But 160, come on. China is only estimated to have between 180 warheads in service. Pakistan has built no more than 110 given the amount of material they started off with. And there aren't more than 90 still in service.

Where would they have gotten them from? You aren't going to build 160 nuclear bombs in a garage or the basement of some mosque. We are talking about major industrial complex to do that kind of construction.

And they aren't old cold war Russian nukes. The highly enriched plutonium or uranium in the trigger breaks down over time. Any weapon build before 1990 is a paperweight now unless new triggers have been put in place. And the trigger is the hardest part of the bomb to build. Again you might be able to build one or two at a university without everyone knowing. But 160, no freaking way.

[CholeraJoe]

The smallest nuke available (W80) is about 300lbs and 31.4 by 11.8 inches. It’s more like a footlocker than a suitcase.

[LibLieSlayer]

If I were president and if a nuke ever went off on our soil... I would fire every ICBM we have, at every enemy that we have. If America is over then the GAME IS OVER. I would pledge this from day one.

[30Moves]

Wouldn’t that render the US uninhabitable for quite some time?

Where would they get the nuke material for 150 bombs?

Just writing the letters creates terror and that is their goal.

[JimRed]

Had they said six or even 16, it would be much more believable. They’re just blowing smoke.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Didn’t the UPS packaged bombs originate from a mosque center in Chicago? But hey lets let them build a mosque on ground zero!

This is way beyond politics the progressive Obama commiecrats are going to get us all annihilated.NOTHING to see here move along did you see Michelle Obama’s new belt and watch Oprah’s OWN network picking the antichrist as POTUS?

[silverleaf]

Interesting that whoever did this knew which investigators to contact, addresses, names etc

Some insider information that should help forensic investigators to identify a small pool of suspects

[Gadsden1st]

Would a pipe bomb with a radium dial watch attached be considered a WMD?

[lacrew]

I’m trying to imagine Jihadist Johnny just sitting on a nuke until he could get hold of a second one....and then sitting one two nukes until he could get a third....

Would never happen. The instant they get a nuke, they will use it.

[airborne]

0bama would probably say we had it coming.

(NOT sarcasm)

[DTogo]

Could be sent by Ghadaffi-sponsored sleeper cells just to send the FBI off on a goose chase while they plot something more realistic (than “160” RC nukes).

[no-to-illegals]

hoax or ruse, ties up resources, and possibly allows something else to slip past, if something else is going on. imho ... not credible ... as has been stated.
