hostility to the U.S. is clear in his declaration (fatwa) in response to the detention of Shaykh Omar Abdur Rahman stating, “The U.S. is the enemy of Islam and we must fight it. Our order throughout the world, is to kill any member of its army and its leaders, and this is a religious duty.”
Al-Watan continues, “Bin Laden has many front offices in the Arab world, the West, and Africa. He uses many Islamic non-profit charity organizations for his work around the world to strengthen his position and his army which includes 5000 'kamikaze' suicide bombers. Among these nations are Bosnia, Kosova and many Islamic countries, including Turkestan, Uzbekistan and many Arab countries. The main power and headquarters of his organization are its offices in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan and especially the U.S., under an organization named al-Kifaah, based in Manhattan. It was opened in 1989 to train Muslims to fight in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union. In addition he found himself in need of an alliance with Hizbullah, headquartered in Lebanon, in order to establish a militant power base against the U.S.--and nations that he considers to be supporting the U.S. He brought many Hizbullah soldiers to Sudan to train in different forms of military technology, particularly the manufacture of remote controlled bombs.”
Islam cannot and will not ever accept terrorism and extremism in any form especially under the banner of Islam. Muslims in America and abroad strongly condemn these actions and movements around the world, and furthermore disassociate themselves from these deeds which are in direct contradiction to the Islamic teachings of peace and tolerance. ×
Good; The weapons were a minimum of two years old in 1999. More than likely they were a LOT older than that.
The Ukrainian mafiya will sell you a non-working replica of any weapon you desire. But the real thing costs extra.
Seriously, I heard that Bin Laden's in for an unpleasant surprise when he tries to use his clearance-sale warheads, especially the "suitcase" nuke.
Technology ain't for cave people, you know.
Can you cite that?
I have this reference and found nothing past 1996

During the first week of October, Israel's Mossad was reported to have detained a Palestinian attempting to enter Jerusalem from Ramallah who was wearing such a system on his back. The item was contained in a CIA Daily Threat Report. UPI has several times re-interviewed its sources who insisted that the item was in a such a report the first week of October. Initially, there were conflicting reports as to whether the pack contained a radiological weapon or a nuclear system. UPI re-interviewed the sources who saw the Daily Report item, and they insisted that the weapon was nuclear, not radiological.
