. And if they know of three ships, there may be others.

I read earlier today - on FR, but I don't remember the post, unfortunately - that there are way more than three. Perhaps these three are the biggest and possibly most dangerous and most connected to Iraq, but there are several others, which have been scattered across the seas for several months now. I think some of them are believed to belong directly to Al Qaeda.

Yup. I believe I read there were 15 Al-Qa'ida ships.

Couldn't chemical/bio laden scuds launched from freighters into Washington, etc, cause a lot of havoc.

A total of 15 cargo vessels were rumored to be under the direct control of al-Qaeda.
