A leading Muslim cleric Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, founder of the Islamic Supreme Council of America (ISCA), insists bin Ladens network has bought more than 20 nuclear warheads carried in suitcases.

In 1999 Kabbani first warned the U.S. State Department of bin Laden's impending terrorism.

He told the U.S. Government bin Laden was training suicide bombers in Afghanistan ready to move to any part of the world.

Kabbani said the nuclear weapons, sometimes referred to as "suitcase bombs", were sold by the Russian mafia.

as a resident of Los Angeles, thanks. You sounded like some matryr crazed mullah demanding the destruction of the evil satan's Disneyland.

[Andyman]

I mean really, if this were true they would have set one off by now, warning us to lay of the bombing of Osama and gang, don't you think?

[garyhope]

If they had them, they wudda used them. Got Nukes? Why bother with those planes then?

If they do use them, the entire mid East is nuclear toast. Kill em all.

What kills the "suitcase" models fast is the tritium needed to augment such a small mass of fissionable material. Tritium decays into helium-3 with a 12-year half-life, which means that after a few months there is a significant helium-3 contamination. Helium-3 eats up the neutrons needed to start a chain reaction. No periodic replenishment with new tritium, no big boom.

If ya got em, smoke em or shut up!

Could the retired Pakastani scientists get their hands on the stuff..doubtful

[codebreaker]

That would explain the Taliban Presdient shooting off his mouth last week talking about the destruction of America while his forces are surrendering.

[garyhope]

I can hardly wait to drop these facts into a casual conversation with my smarty pants friends. They'll think "He is just so damn smart". Betcha I get a lot of the babes with those facts. My hero.

Is there any way to transport a radiation -proof container that would fool the scanner?

That 'dirty bomb' stuff just didnt come out of thin air

[blam]

So, what would happen if they had tried already to detonate them? What would have been the result?

[VaBthang4]

I dont doubt the possibility of these suitcase nukes being purchased by Muslim extremists but if they were in the United States then they would've already been detonated or discovered.......why would these Extremists wait for the Taliban to fall or for U.S. intelligence to shake down the Muslim community before using them?

No...

...they are not in the United States.

List of things to do for today:

Tell Muslim Cleric that he's full of it and that we're calling his bluff and that, just for fun, we're gonna rearrange his face for wasting our time telling stupid stories he can't back up.

I think it might be time to pull a couple of fingernails off old Muslim cleric Shaykh Hisham Kabbani and ask a few pointed questions, what do you think?

[Roebucks]

Would they fit in a backpack? Ya think?
