From the article:
"That made the DRAGONFIRE report alarming. So did this: detonated in lower Manhattan, a 10-kiloton bomb would kill some 100,000 civilians and irradiate 700,000 more, flattening everything in a half-mile diameter"
In October 2001 attorney David Schippers announced on Alex Jones radio program in Austin, Texas that Schippers and two active FBI (from Chicago and Minneapolis)agents had tried in August 2001 to warn FBI and DOJ officials about what they believed would be a "nuclear attack on lower Manhattan" by ME terrorists connected to Bin LAden. Schippers reported that he and the FBI agents were blocked and ignored in getting their information acted upon by Federal authorities. Schippers and Judicial Watch are now representing at least one of these agents in a Federal lawsuit against the FBI and DOJ.
Schippers has said that if acted upon and taken more seriously he beleives his warnings in August could have made the 9/11 attacks less likely by AlQaeda.
But could Schippers' and the FBI agent's information from August 2001 also be connected to the reports in the article for this thread telling of fears of a 10 kiloton nuclear device AlQaeda allegedly has and wants to detonate in lower Manahttan?
Furthermore, who is to say that the nuclear device, if real and actually brought into the US, could not be detonated somewhere else (change in plans?)now besides Manhattan such as in other heavily populated areas like LA or CHicago or even the nation's capital DC?
And sadly, these stories, true or not, when taken now (even as necessary)to this level of alert by law enforcement authorities and elected officials result in terrorization of American commerce and citities and people.
