Strong Evidence of Al-Qaida Nuclear Threat

[Harvard]

Hey Guys:

I got this from Micheal Savage's website. There is evidence from various sources that Al Qaeda has secreted several Plutonium bombs into the US via the Mexican border. There is evidence that they plan to bomb 7 US cities simultaneously. According to Savage, the FBI knows about this, but has made little effort to stop it.--FYI

"Dubai, 12 Sept. (AKI) - Osama bin Laden is planning to carry out new, more destructive attacks inside the United States, and there is someone working on this terror plot currently in the US, according to Hamid Mir, the famed Pakistani journalist who obtained the only post-9/11 interviews with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. In an interview quoted on the website of the al-Arabiya television network, Mir spoke about his last trip to Afghanistan and his meeting with al-Qaeda members and Taliban leaders.

In his interview with Al.Arabiya.net, Mir said that the al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters referred to attacks targeting the US-led coalition forces during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan which begins on 24 September, and that the al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden was in "good" health during a meeting he had recently with the Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar.

Mir also said that bin Laden has assigned a man named Adnan Al-Shukri Juma to carry out a new attack within the US which is intended to be larger than the 11 September, 2001 attacks. According to Mir, Adnan Jumaa has smuggled explosives and nuclear materials into the US through the Mexican border over the last two years and is hiding somewhere in America where the FBI has not been able to locate him.

The Pakistani journalist also gave a brief background on Adnan Jumaa. Born in Saudi Arabia, he moved to the US where he met a group of a Al-Qaeda members in the Al-Farouq mosque in New York in 2000. He then traveled to an Arab state and from there to Pakistan then Afghanistan. He left there two years ago and since then has smuggled nuclear material from Mexico to the US. Jumaa has earned the nickname "Al-Qaeda nuclear whizz" and is tagged to play the same role in a future attack as Mohammed Atta did in the 9/11 attacks.


In March 2003 the FBI announced that it was seeking a link between Adnan and others accused of terroris, saying Adnan Jumaa "or maybe one of his several nicknames" had appeared in intelligence information gathered after the arrest of Khalid Sheik Mohammad.

Western media had reported in earlier times that Adnan Jumaa was a Saudi pilot, but the Saudi Ministry of Interior security spokesman lieutanent Mansour Al-Turki said in a statement to Al-Watan newspaper two months ago that Adnan Jumaa is not a Saudi citizen, he was living in the kingdom until he was eleven years old and left along with his parents, who are not Saudis, twenty years ago.

Adnan Al-Shukri's name has been mentioned in many Western media reports claiming that Al-Qaeda has acquired nuclear technology. The American writer, Paul Williams, in his book " The Al-Qaeda Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime, and the Coming Apocalypse", says he was among a number of Al-Qaeda members trained for the nuclear technology.

On another issue, Hamid Mir spoke to Alarabiya.net of his last trip to Afghanistan and his meeting with a leader of Taliban named "Khaibar" in Zabul who claimed that 300 Taliban suicide bombers had managed to sneak into Kabul and Jalalabad to carry out attacks against coalition troops during Ramadan.

Mir alleges that there was a meeting between Bin Laden and Mullah Omar several few weeks ago in the mountain area of Zabul where they planned more attacks, "I received this piece of information from one of the Taliban leaders who attended the meeting himself and I met him recently in Afghanistan" Mir said. "He told me that this was the second meeting between the two men since last year and that Bin Laden's health seemed good while he was eating with Mullah Mohammad Omar.

The Pakistani journalist expressed his surprise of the changing situation in Afghanistan; saying that the Taliban had come back to rule some areas and spread their special courts, their special administrations, nothing that even some police officials follow their orders."

Theres nothing to this story. Just wild speculation.

If it was true, we would have already seen the largest manhunt and search in this nations history.

On another note, there has been some rumors that in the event of a nuke detonation in the US, Russia and the PRC will expect to see a retaliatory strike against them, just to keep things even. And that would just be the beginning for the firestorm that would envelope the arab world.

I would say "there is a possibility that al queda has nukes, the possibility is quite remote though".

[timshatz]

Agreed. This one is going to pop up from time to time. It's the stuff that comes out during a war. The enemy always seems to have some secret plan that is going to wipe your side out. Pretty common.

Heard it back in '03 from a friend. The call back then was, "They are waiting for the right momment to set them off" or (this one was funny) "They are issuing one last warning to convert to Islam or they will set them off" (sure, that's gonna happen). We kicked it around and agreed the loon jobs really didn't need much of a reason to wipe us out and any momment was the right momment. Told him not to worry about it and go back to work. Greatest threat to Al Quida is a strong, financially sound and economically conhesive West.

Worked against the Soviets.

Ive read on other websites that nuke weapons experts say that all nuke weapons need maintenance from time to time and there is only a window of so many months (years) that it will work.

Small "suitcase" nukes are even more maintence prone and prone to deteriation.

The threat of Al Qaida getting some form of nuclear bomb is very real. You can get anything from the Black Market and there are many nations out there that have the technology and would be willing to sell it, or whose security is so low that it would be easy to steel one.

Now having said that, I dont think it will happen any time soon and if it does it will be nothing more than a dirty bomb.

Can you bet our national security on that assumption? Also, what if you had an Al Qaeda nuclear genious (this is the claim) actually build the bomb in the U.S. using plans? There's no time limit if you've got a mastermind.

"'Al-Qaeda bought nuclear weapons'

rediff International Affairs Bureau | March 22, 2004 13:15 IST




Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir, Osama bin Laden's biographer and occasional rediff.com columnist, has claimed in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation television network that燗l Qaeda has bought ready-made nuclear weapons from Central Asia's thriving black market.

?

The claim confirms what American intelligence agencies have known all along --爐hat燗l Qaeda was trying to acquire nuclear weapons on the black market.

?

Mir told the ABC爊etwork that the claim was made in an interview with Ayman al-Zawahri, the number 2 man in Al Qaeda.

?

Parts of Mir's interview with the network were released on Sunday. There has been no announcement so far as to when the interview between him and al-Zawahri took place.

?

The Egyptian terrorist is currently燽eing爐argeted by燩akistani security forces.

?

When Mir told the Al Qaeda leader that he found it incredible that the terrorists燾ould either possess nuclear weapons or have the kind of sophisticated equipment to maintain, leave alone use them, the journalist recalled al-Zawahri laughing out loud.

?

'Mr Mir, if you have $30 million, go to the black market in Central Asia, contact any disgruntled Soviet scientist, and a lot of smart briefcase bombs are available,' he quotd al-Zawahri燼s saying. 'They have contacted us, we sent our people to Moscow, to Tashkent, to other Central Asian states and they negotiated, and we purchased some suitcase bombs.'

Describing al-Zawahri as 'the real brain behind Osama bin Laden,' the Pakistani journalist told the network that the former was the 'real strategist, bin Laden is only a front man. I think he is more dangerous [than Laden].'

al-Zawahri, an Egyptian surgeon, is believed to have played a major role in the September 11, 2001燼ttacks on the United States.

Intelligence agencies believe he is hiding in the region around the Pakistan-Afghanistan border where American and Pakistani forces are currently燾onducting a major offensive against the Taliban and燗l Qaeda.

Mir's claim comes on the heels of revelations last month that Pakistan scientists sold nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea.

More shocking for the Australian government is al-Zawahri's claim, in the interview with Mir, that he had visited Australia on a reconnaissance mission for both funds and young recruits. 'He told me he stopped for a while in Darwin [in northern Australia],' Mir said."

I can believe it.
