Very frightening. I wonder what the US would do? Here's a little tidbit from a professor who created nuclear war models.
If you had only one bomb, where in the US would you drop it?
Answer: St. Louis, Missouri. It might contaminate the Missisippi/Missouri river system and harm the US breadbasket.
So the question is: Al Queda reports that there's a bomb somewhere in the US? What does the US do?
Al Queda
Second thing: Although i agree with him that a nuclear blast over St. Louis would have the widest contamination effect, i still maintain that the best 'terrorist' target would be NYC, especially Manhattan or smack in the middle of WallStreet. Why? Such an attack would not only bring the economy to a grinding halt, possibly for a very long time; but also it would have a great pychological effect, both to the West and the Jehadis. Such a strike would have more 'oomph' to the kooks than nuking america's breadbasket.
