Briefcase Nukes
Already Inside the U.S.?
Worldnetdaily.com
has been running a series of articles that claim that
al-Qaeda already has nuclear weapons inside the U.S.
and is waiting to detonate them.
Joseph Farah writes, “At least two fully assembled
and operational nuclear weapons are believed to be hidden
in the United States already, according to G2 Bulletin
intelligence sources and an upcoming book, ‘The
al-Qaida Connection: International Terrorism, Organized
Crime and the Coming Apocalypse,’ by former FBI
consultant Paul L. Williams."
He continues," The cities chosen as optimal targets
are New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago,
San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston, and Washington, D.C.
New York and Washington top the preferred target list
for al-Qaida leadership.”
And Farah says August 6 , the 60th anniversary of the
American nuclear attack on Hiroshima, is a date on which
al-Qaeda could choose to set them off.
But now the influential intelligence Web site Stratfor.com
has weighed in, attacking the articles and the whole notion
that al-Qaeda could hide a nuke in the U.S. or that it
possesses the technical prowess to set one off, especially
one that was stolen from say, the Russians.
We shall see.
