The London Sunday Express is like a supermarket tabloid. I don't think that I would call it a reliable source.

I just watched the movie "The Sum of All fears"

The story says that the devices yield a 1 kiloton blast. I suppose it could be worse. I'd think that if any of those devices were to be detonated, we'd respond with something a bit more powerful, as in megaton weapons...

Soviet nukes used relatively impure weapons-grade fissionables by Western standards. It decayed fast due to the impurities and had to be removed and "recooked" every 8-10 years. The Soviets found it easier to do that than to cook the stuff right the first time.
I wouldn't worrry about xSoviet nukes. At this point they will likely just fizzle and cause an ungodly mess. The backpack types would likely not even do that.

>The book,''Al Qaeda: Brotherhood of Terror,'' by Paul L. Williams, says bin Laden purchased 20 suitcase nuclear weapons in 1998 from former KGB agents for $30 million. ... he hired a team of five nuclear scientists from Turkmenistan. ...
Sounds like bin Laden
has been watching too many
Austin Powers films ...

What do you think?
Tabloid news of this sort is questionable and rarely credible.
You are not flying your flag and your screen name sounds like you may know more in your part of the world. What is your opinion is this a scare tactic or real? Or both?

Ok, lemme get this straight. In other words, According to Bush, Blair warned Bush that he was warned of the Bin Laden nukes?

The Express is a major London newspaper. Many big city newspapers are published in "tabloid format" so that they can be more easily read on the underground and on busses. Muslims do not buy it however as it is seen as a racist "Crusader" paper. Note its masthead. The Times and the Express are Tory, i.e. right of center papers.

Did you take the title from an SAT test question? Ya know, where you detect the pattern and write what the next line should be?
The correct answer is:
a) Blair warned Bin Laden of Bush nukes
b) Bin Laden warned Bush
c) Bush warned Bin Laden of Blair
e) Blair warned Nuke Laloosh of Annie

Time to find a way to blame Lott.

Not sure Soviet suitcase nukes would still be functional now, without some serious scientists and facilities to maintain them. I doubt al Qaeda could pull it off.
Now Saddam, Iran, or North Korea, on the other hand, maybe. That's where the Axis of Evil gets tricky.

All the more reason to up the pressure on OBL and take out any country that supports him.
Goodbye Saddam.

If they had workable suitcase nukes, they would have used them by now.

"Does anyone know if the London Sunday Express is a legitimate newspaper?"Never heard of it...is this supposed to be one of those "what did he know and when did he know it" articles?
