So, have Khan and Khabab ever met? Were Khan and Khabab ever in contact, directly or indirectly? Does AQ really have suitcase nukes or dirty bombs that are now operable based on critical information from Khan to Khabab? Where the heck is Khabab these days? Did he know the heat on Khan was being turned up? Is he here or still somewhere in the Afghanistan, Pakistan region?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Zero is the word on Khabab (Mursi) I have looked everyday since the report that he was possibly in Mexico or already here.

Loftus was on Fox this morning (will be every Sunday morning) and didn't mention this but said he firmly believes Saddam's WMD are buried in Syria.

In light of what we are learning about Abdul Qadeer Khan. What do we know, and more importantly, what don't we know?

(Article Snippet) "Al Qaeda's nuclear effort benefited from the help of two Pakistani nuclear scientists, Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood and Chaudiri Abdul Majeed, who have admitted that they had had long discussions with al Qaeda officials in August 2001 about nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.2 Pakistani intelligence officials told The Washington Post that they believe that the scientists used a charity they had created as a cover to conduct secret talks with bin Laden."

"Pakistani officials told The Washington Post, the scientists reportedly admitted meeting with bin Laden, the Egyptian Ayman Zawahiri, and two other al Qaeda officials over two or three days in August at a compound in Kabul. The scientists described bin Laden as intensely interested in nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.3"

"Bin Laden indicated to them that he had obtained, or had access to, some type of radiological material that he said had been acquired by the radical Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.4 Mahmood and Majeed reportedly told bin Laden that it would not be possible to manufacture a nuclear weapon from that material.5 They claim they provided no material or specific plans to bin Laden, but rather engaged in wide ranging "academic" discussions, Pakistanis officials told The Washington Post."

"According to another Pakistani official, however, the scientists spoke extensively about weapons of mass destruction. He described the scientists as "very motivated" and "extremist in their views," but added that they were "discussing things that didn't materialize, but fall under the breaking secrets act."6 Pakistani officials familiar with the interrogations told the Washington Post that the scientists provided detailed responses to bin Laden's technical questions about the manufacture of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.7"
