“Does anyone really think the reference to Hiroshima was a coincidence?”
No.
OPINION - SPECULATION:
That said, the nuclear bomb is probably their ultimate goal.
I know they are interested in the nuke (from various writings), jihadi sites, etc.; but I think right now it’s probably something more basic.
For example, if I was in Houston, I would still be concerned as to where those 17 missing buses are.
For example, have they found jihadis who can drive stolen trucks and stolen buses straight into _____ (fill in the blanks)?

“School bus thefts raise security concerns”
11:25 AM CDT on Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Jeff McShan’s 11 News report
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Houston Police Department’s Criminal Intelligence Division, the FBI and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office are all concerned about a large number of school buses that have been stolen in the Houston area over the last several months.
Seventeen large, yellow school buses were stolen recently from various charter schools, business schools and private bus companies. Not one has disappeared from HISD.
Most, if not all, were taken from locations on Houston’s north side.”
Pakistan's airports have been placed on highest alert, with the threat of a terror attack imminent, officials say. The government has also banned gatherings of five or more people near Rawalpindi's international airport.
The moves come days before exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has a residence in Rawalpindi, is expected to return to the country. Meanwhile, Lebanese and Saudi officials have urged Mr Sharif to honour a deal not to return to Pakistan until 2010. Mr Sharif, leader of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) party, insisted he would return home on Monday despite the Arab leaders' appeals.

German terror suspect 'met 9/11 hijacker'
September 7, 2007
The prime suspect in the alleged German terror plot to blow up hundreds of people may have had contact with Mohammed Atta, the suicide pilot who smashed a hijacked plane into the Twin Towers.
German police reports are vague about the encounter, but it has helped investigators to trace Fritz Gelowicz’s path from average Bavarian schoolboy to Islamic radical. His case has also highlighted the curious and sinister role of Neu-Ulm — a small township in the Roman Catholic heart of southern Germany — as a cradle of Islamic extremism.
The connection between Gelowicz, 28, who was arrested this week, and Atta seems to date back to 2000 while the suicide pilot was studying in Hamburg and already preparing the 9/11 attack with a group of devout accomplices. The Egyptian student visited a small mosque in Bavarian Neu-Ulm, which had already gained a reputation for radicalism. Firebrand preachers were passing in and out of the town and it had become a magnet for angry young Muslims.
“Fritz G came to our notice nine years ago when he publicly praised Islamic terror attacks,” said Guenther Beckstein, the Interior Minister of Bavaria.” His name crops up again in relation to a visit to Neu-Ulm by Mohammed Atta,who later went on to be a terror pilot on September 11.”
