I read the Farah story, it's definatly a bit sensational.

Overall, it seems as if most FReepers are quick to dismiss the possibility that al Qaida would acquire/be able to acquire nukes or nuclear material to create a bomb. To be honest, I question why anyone would dismiss anything when it comes to this group. They have shown time and time again that their main interest is mass casualty, and spectacular attacks. I strongly believe they would like nothing more than to go that route someday. The top guys in the organization have said that's their plan, and they generally tell us what they are going to do... then do it within a few yrs. They might not have the capability, but I'd want a lot more concrete evidence of that before throwing the possibility out the window.

I don't believe they have 40+ nukes, but I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to get their hands on a few. Then again, my field is politics... not nuclear science, so I know little about the actual feasibility of such a plan.

Oh .. I believe they are in possession .. Klintoon was too stooopid about all the starving Russian scientists after the fall .. and they had a desirable commodity.

I don't believe they have 40+ nukes, but I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to get their hands on a few.

At this point I would be very surprised if they had a few, because not only would they be being sought by us but also now by those who thought it such a great idea to supply them with any.

We made it very clear on several occasions exactly what our response would be on those using nukes, bio or chem weapons against us and made it very clear that our response would definitely include the supplier.

Any supplier would also be desperately looking for them also.

Dr. Bill has talked about the possibility of the 40 nukes, he said (as I recall), that if they were trained people and had the knowledge to maintain them, they could be maintained.

He did not feel they would work, if just hidden in the barn.

No, I can't repeat all he says, it is way over my head.

He does think that they will set off a nuke in the next
5 years and expects it to be less.

Dr. Bill has spent about 50 years designing the weapons we are using today and is still doing so.

There is better info on his web page at KGO radio site, he also has given papers to the: pushback.com site.

My own opinion, is that there were hundreds of Pakistan scientists that left Pakistan and thousands that left Russia, so it would not surprise me that they were able to hire a scientist to keep a nuclear bomb in working order or to build them another one.
