One factor in the third general terror alert raised in the United States since the September 11 relates according to US media, to intelligence information indicating the the former Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden has gained possession of a so-called dirty or radiological bomb. The target date referred to in electronic intercepts is Mid-December. It has also been suggested that such weapons may have smuggled into the United States.
On Oct. 12 DEBKA-Net-Weekley reported from its intelligence sources that Bin Laden had almost certainly procured a supply of uranium -235 six months before the September 11 suicide attacks. The uranium was believed to have reached him in a multimillion deal with a Ukranian-born mobster called Semion Mogilevich.
DEBKA-Net- Weekley came back to the subject more recently on November 30, in another exclusive report:RADIATION POISIONING BETRAYS MULE
In the first week of October, Pakastani arrested on immigration charges in the course of the FBI investigation into the September 11 suicide attacks, complained of bleeding gums and pain, symptoms of gingivitis. He was treated with antibiotics, but was found dead in his cell in Hudson Couty jail in Kearny, New Jersey, three weeks later.
The cause of death was not released, any more than the dead man's identity.
DEBKA-Net Weekley's medical experts note that the bleeding gums the anonymous Pakistani was treated for are a symptom of radiation poisioning, suggesting he might have been a 'mule' transporting nuclear materials or devices into America. (A subsequent investigation revealed that he had contracted gingivitis in a result of radiation-induced lukemia)
This explanaion would imply that more than one such carrier is employed by al Qaeda to smuggle nuclear materials or devices into the United States, Western Europe and the Middile East, their mission being to plant their deadly burders in pre-arranged secret locations, ready for activation.
Time to break out the Beta frequency satellites and confiscate all their tinfoil. Tell them they're lemmings and it's time for a bath.
How much do you want to know...first the good news...he drinks tea.

No, but a mule once bit my sister.
She was lucky it wasn't a møøse.
John McCaslin, author of the Washington Times column "Inside the Beltway", reported recently (Oct or Nov) while substituting for Rush about his experience following a medical procedure involving radioactive material used for diagnostic purposes.
He had gone to the doctor and they injected some radioactive material into him, and several hours afterwards he was driving his car near the White House when he was stopped by the Secret Service. He had set off radiation alarms.
Fortunately, nuclear radiation is easy to detect at miniscule levels, and the fact that the tiny amount of harmless medical radiation in his body was sufficient to set off alarms while he was driving in traffic should be reassuring .
I had one of these tests years ago when X-rays didn't show a stress fracture that was detected by a radiological test after a radioactive isotope of Americium was injected into my veins. I watched the site of the fracture slowing becoming visible after an hour or so after the Americium concentrated itself along a fine line in my hip bone.
DEBKA is such a dubious source. Occasionally they are right, but so occasionally that it could be blind luck.
The dangerous form of unranium is isotope 238, not 235. The former is far more radioactive, which is why it is separated by gas diffusion as uranium hexoflourine. Anyone who stayed awake in high school chemistry class (as I did) knows this.
Hence, I conclude that whoever wrote this article doesn't know diddly squat about uranium. Therefore, I conclude that the rest of the article is also probably garbage. IMHO.
