"U.S. Special Operations forces on Thursday joined members of the Energy Departments Nuclear Emergency Search Team on board a Liberian-flagged container ship off the coast of New Jersey to search for nuclear material, Pentagon officials told NBC News. The search of the M/V Palermo Senator was based primarily on intelligence suggesting a ship matching its description could be carrying nuclear material or a nuclear device into the United States ... scientists said the initial readings indicated the presence of both gamma and neutron emissions, an indicator of an improvised nuclear device. The NEST squad was established in 1974 to seek out and dismantle improvised nuclear devices, but has been used over the years to investigate suspicious radiological sources.The Palermo Senator is owned by the firm Reederei F. Laeisz of Hamburg, Germany, and regularly plies the route between New York and the Far East. Its last port of call was Valencia, Spain, but in the past several weeks it has stopped and picked up cargo in Bandar Abbas, Iran; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Karachi, Pakistan.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
If they find or have found a bomb, and it doesn't have cyrlic or chinese characters on the outside, I'd bet on Pakistan being the source. We know they have nukes, and that at least some of their security forces are in cahoots with Al Qaida.
