Author: Al-Qaida Has Nuclear Weapons Inside U.S.

A new book, Osama's Revenge, lays out the evidence. From NewsMax:

A new book written by a former FBI consultant claims that al-Qaida not only has obtained nuclear devices, but also likely has them in the U.S. and will detonate them in the near future.

These chilling allegations appear in "Osama's Revenge: The Next 9/11: What the Media and the Government Haven't Told You," by Paul L. Williams (Prometheus Books).

Williams claims that al-Qaida has been planning a spectacular nuclear attack using six or seven suitcase nuclear bombs that would be detonated simulantaneously in U.S. cities.

"They want the most bang for the buck, and that is nuclear," Williams told NewsMax.

"I expect such an attack would come between now and the end of 2005," the author said.

In addition to writing several books on terrorism, Williams, an investigative journalist, has worked as an FBI consultant.

Williams' contention is not far from what U.S. intelligence believes, a source close to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge has told NewsMax. The source said Ridge claimed that U.S. intelligence believes terrorists already have smuggled into the U.S. actual atomic devices, as opposed to so-called "dirty nukes" that simply are conventional bombs that help spread radiation.

Ok, I just got that old sinking feeling in my gut. For some reason Spidey Sense, 6th Sense or whatever that is is not saying: "That's crazy talk."

That does it. We need to get serious folks. Shut the fucking borders. NOW.

Part of me wants very much to hope that this is just a tactic, disinformation spread to try and affect our economies. If that is the case, it isn't working (except in the mind of the democrats, who Always see Bad as being 'good' for them).

And if it is not... I don't care if this post gets deleted. If they manage even something as big as 911, they deserve everything they get hit with, anywhere and Everywhere on the planet.

Sorry folks.This scenario is entirely plausible.
Loads of nuclear stuff went missing after the break up of the Soviet Union. These Islamist fanatics are on par with the Nazis and represent same threat to the World. We must be vigilant and ready to defend ourselves.

More than ready to defend ourselves. I think we need to start getting medieval and we need to stop worrying about hurting Muslim feelings here in the United States.

Remember those camps during World War II that everyone cries about today? Sorry, it's got to happen again.

The borders? Put the military to work there and build a damn wall if we have to.

This is insanity. It's like we are just supposed to wait around and accept nuclear retribution from a culture of madness.

I refuse to accept that. We must be PROACTIVE. Iraq and Afghanistan? Just the start. I say amp it up. Significantly and immediately.

Oh, and if anyone so much as flexes a whisker at us, we should be prepared to make an example out of them. The Iranian mullahs have been asking for such an example for many months.

So be it. Give them a few examples of American might then. Flip that government with revolution and American support ASAP.

Forget about rounding up only Middle Easterners. Anglo Saxons, Eastern Europeans and Russians are among their ranks. Remember Taqiyya and kitman tactics. We must be vigilant towards everyone.

One must not forget that there are other groups in the U.S., besides Islamists that want to destroy this country and have been waiting patiently.

Nate, if, as I unfortunately suspect, they hit LA as a target, a big chunk of the loonie left will be Gone. I do unfortunately have friends there, as I imagine a number of people here do.

This isn't the first time an author has made such a claim. Didn't an author named Bodanski make the same claim about two years ago?He was on msnbc claiming Al Qaeda had two suitcase nukes in the US.The problem is it's never been fully established that suitcase nukes really exist.Another problem is that a nuclear device isn't like your average suicide bomb belt.It's a sophisticated weapon that needs routine care and maintenance. Without proper maintenance you end up with nothing more then a heavy suitcase.

True, but we have to start somewhere, and I like to keep in mind what my engineer friends tell me:

"Keep it simple, stupid!"

You can't put the entire population into their place, but you sure as hell can deal with 7 million Muslims, weed out the unsavory ones at the very least and then start knocking heads to find out where the nukes are.

Abu Ghraib can NOT be allowed to be a contributing factor to our own murders.

Well, be prepared to cut your trips to Florida soon. I have a feeling our border policies are going to become rather militant in the event of another attack of any nature.

What's insane is that I even have to say "in the event of".

That is not proof that suitcase nukes exist. It's proof that someone says that suitcse nukes exist. You also do not buy a nuke and save it for a rainy day, without proper care, maintenance and spare parts you'd end up with nothing more then a heavy suitcase.

lobo91 might know, but I haven't seen him around much lately. He must be busy serving his country. :-)

Don't forget - any catastrophic strike means fewer muslims, also. We have the numbers to "bounce back", they don't. The planned "infiltration" of American society comes to a screeching halt, both by virtue of this fact and due to the subsequent backlash.

Look one and all, there is not ONE pol who has sense G-d gave a dirt clod out there. I have not heard one single pol say the obvious:
1. deport all foreigners who are without a green card
2. forget PC and admit this is a war of religion/culture
3. ALL Americans are considered to be loyal Americans unless and until proven otherwise
4. if an American is proven a traitor, in open court, the death penalty should be considered
5. close the damn borders! Quit pandering to the Hispanic vote
6. plus I am at the point where I want to tell the World Court and the UN to take a flying leap and remember Cheney.
and this is just a partial list because there are many WMD out there, not just nuks

Remember how I'm against genocide? If Williams is correct, and nukes go off against civilian targets, all bets are off.

Keep that in mind, Reza and company.

At the present we're willing to be gentlemen about this, and pick you off in small numbers as you attack us. If you pull soemthing like this off, we'll withdraw all westerners from the Middle East and level everything between Damascus and Islamadbad.

No quarter will be given.

Does anybody really think that even the scale of a nuclear attack within the borders of the U.S. will wake people to the threat of islam? How many people must die before government starts putting national security ahead of political correctness? What must be the cost of innocent lives to get government to secure the borders and expose islam as the dangerous ideology it is?

Only when islam is viewed in the same category as nazism by the media, government, and uninformed public, will we be on the right track. The two ideologies share much in common in how they use propaganda and thought control, view outsiders, their world destiny, and even having maniacal cult-of-personality founders! Yet, the actions of islam are consistently excused, its rhetoric watered down, and its agenda ignored. 'Moderate' muslims are about as numerous and powerful as 'moderate' nazis were in wartime Germany.

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE JIHAD!

CGW:

lobo91 might know, but I haven't seen him around much lately. He must be busy serving his country. :-)

Did I hear my name?

I have, indeed, been pretty busy with military duties recently. I actually got a day off last weekend, though (first one since Memorial Day).

How much maintenance a nuclear warhead requires depends largely on what type of device it is (either a "gun" type using enriched uranium or a plutonium implosion design). I've never seen enough information on the allegedly "missing" Soviet weapons to know how they were designed. I know that OUR atomic demolition munitions were gun-type devices, primarily because it's a simpler and more rugged design.

In either case, the fissile material itself isn't what needs to be replaced as a result of decay. It's the triggering devices. For example, the old nuclear artillery shells I worked with had neutron generators containing tritium gas that had to be replaced every 5 years or so.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that we kept ours maintained to about a 99% standard. Terrorists planning a surprise attack against a city don't require the same level of certainty. Al Qaeda would be perfectly happy with warheads that only had a 70 or 80% chance of working when they pushed the button, especially if they had several of them placed in different cities.

Bob O:

I'm heartened to see your last remark.

I was beginning to think that those cojones were tucked away somewhere . . . :-)

(SADM) Devices, Sort of sound like Saddam Devices. I have seen a thing or two about these “suitcase” bombs. I don’t think they would be all that feasible here in the U.S. due to the amount of detection they constantly give off. But still, a scary thought.
I consider myself a patriot and I do think something needs to be done but eneri!
1.deport all foreigners who are without a green card. Well from what I’ve seen it’s the Republican politicians that are trying to give Temporary green cards to boost their approval rating. See California and Arizona and some Colorado agenda .
2. forget PC…I think that was done long ago, this is about Christianity and oil power.
3. & 4. Right now it’s considered by some that if you question authority, you are a traitor…not what the red white and blue was founded on. Who makes the call?
5. I live in Colorado and we have been trying to tell the country that the war in not in Iraq but on our borders…try telling that to the politicians though!
6. I think we already told the UN what we feel about them.

I keep hearing that the lefts needs to shut their mouths and to get in line. Why? I’m not afraid of confrontation. And to tell you the truth, I’ve been able to change a few minds when people come up and confront me. KISS. Keep it simple and keep it honest, people will be bound to see your point. To make a blank statement that all loonies left or PC pussies should shut up, just shows you fear. Never show fear.

Pauly

Yeah!!! Me too Bob I knew you'd come around . See this is what I'm talking about , they are going to cause a major catastrophie and will keep trying after each successive failure.Thats why I'm so all for evey last one of them in our countries being dumped elsewhere.

I have just finished reading Paul Williams’ book, and if a small portion of what he says is accurate, it is very frightening.

According to Williams:

“The Chechen Mafia purportedly sold 20 nuclear suitcases to representatives of Osama bin Laden. For the weapons, Bin Laden paid $30 million in cash and two tons of heroin (with a street value in excess of $700 million).

In 2002, Al-Majallah published an update claiming that bin Laden had succeeded in obtaining a total of 48 nuclear suitcases from the Russian Mafia over the course of several years. The claim was supported by reports from Israeli intelligence that al Qaeda agents purchased 12 to 15 kilos of uranium-235.”


[While I don’t have any faith in what Al-Majallah may report. I would be willing to rely on Israeli intelligence reports].

Williams continues:

“The nuclear suitcases were originally designed to serve as tactical rather than strategic weapons for use against NATO targets time of war. They were not really suitcases, but suitcase-sized nuclear devices, which could be fired from grenade or rod launchers or detonated in public buildings, shopping malls, arenas or stadiums for sporting events. One weapon placed in the center of a major metropolitan area was capable of instantly killing sever hundred thousand civilians while exposing millions of others lethal gamma rays.

Some of these weapons were smuggled into the United States by Soviet agents and buried at scattered, remote locations. "There is no doubt that the Soviets stored material [including nuclear suitcases] in this country," Curt Weldon (R-PA), chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Research and Development, said. "The question is what and where."

In attempting to verify the reports of the buried nukes, director Louis Freeh ordered a team of nuclear technicians to excavate several areas around Brainerd, Minnesota, where Soviet spies were believed to have forward-deployed several suitcases in case war.

Diggings began at additional sites after KGB defector Vas. Mitrokhin, who served as a chief archivist for the agency informed British intelligence that secret stockpiles of tactic nuclear devices were buried in upstate New York, California, Texas, and Minnesota.

Mitrakhin's information was supported by Col. Stanislav Lunev, the highest-ranking military spy to defect from the Soviet Union and the leading confidential source on Russia's nuclear arsenal. .....................The number of weapons buried in the United States and Europe remains anyone's guess. But Soviet scientists produced more than seven hundred nuclear suitcases during the 1960s and 1970s and hundreds more during the 1980s.


[Excuse my black humor, but I have to laugh at the mental picture of “nuclear technicians” skulking around New York, California and Texas digging holes.]

Williams also states that the U.S. developed similar small nukes known as “rucksack bombs”, and in 1966 the DOD made a training film which showed how the weapons could be stuffed into parachutes of commandos and attached to the diving gear of Navy seals or affixed to buildings, bridges and ships.

He states that

“During the 1980s these devices were refined and make smaller. The plutonium and uranium were kept in separate compartments and connected to a triggering mechanism that could be activated by a clock or a call from a cell phone.”


Williams writes that

“in 1998 Alexander Lebed, the former Russian security secretary under Boris Yeltsin, met in a closed-door session with members of the U.S. House of Representatives and admitted that forty nuclear suitcases had disappeared from the Russian arsenal........Lebed said that he was able to confirm the production of 132 suitcases and could account for only 48...............He added that the small nukes would have required two major overhauls in the 20 or so years since they had been manufactured and did not know if such overhauls had been conducted.”


As to the maintenance of the trigger mechanism-issue, this is what Williams has to say,

“....The triggers," which emit large quantities of neutrons at high speeds, would require considerable attention. The triggers decay rapidly and have short "half-lives"-most would become useless in less than four months. The nuclear cores also are subject to decay and over the course of several years would fall below the critical mass threshold. Though the shells that encase the cores are the most durable, they, too, are subject to contamination. Without proper care, the shells, no less than the core, will produce a fizzle rather than a boom. But bin Laden has displayed a keen awareness of the need for technical expertise. Intelligence sources have confirmed that SPETSNAZ officials from the former Soviet Union were on bin Laden's payroll from 1996 to 2001 to maintain and prepare the nuclear suitcases for activation. Moreover, following the invasion of Afghanistan and the loss of his laboratories, bin Laden reportedly sought out and obtained the technical assistance of twelve leading Pakistani scientists, including Dr. Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, Dr. Chaudry Abdul Majid, and Dr. Mirza Yusuf Baig.6 On November 25, 2001, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar assured BBC reporters that the nuclear destruction of the United States was well underway: "The plan is going ahead and, God willing, it is being implemented. But it is a huge task, which is beyond the will and comprehension of human beings. If God's help is with us, this will happen within a short period of time; keep in mind this prediction."

The next attack, according to al Qaeda defectors and informants, will take place simultaneously at various locations throughout the country. Terrorist cells have been established in major American cities, including New York, Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Washington, DC. Intelligence sources estimate that as many as five thousand sleeper agents from al Qaeda training camps have made their way into the country.”


I guess simultaneous attacks are not so farfetched when you remember the plans for the Bojinka plot using Casio digital watches as timing devices.

I just wanted to pass on this little bit of info from the book. I would appreciate any comments on what Paul Williams has to say by any of you out there who are knowledgeable about these matters. I hope he is wrong, because if he is not, it is pretty sobering.

It is imperative that the west develop its energy policies as soon as possible to reduce or eliminate its dependence on Muslim oil.

So long as the west continues to fill the coffers of radical morality deprived Islamic nations and their Komic book KORAN we shall continue to fund their subversive and soulless endeavors.

With that money, they fostered subterfuge and bombings, death and destruction while all the time screaming that the West and a handful of Jews did them wrong.

Those simple minded bastards continue to get obscenely rich because their absolutely worthless real estate just happens float on an ocean of oil. (funny what will float) .

There is more oil in Canada’s Alberta tar sands than in the whole Middle East. It’s time to develop it and free ourselves from these psychopaths and luna–ticks. Let’s use the time to develop alternative resources and let’s let them drink their bloody oil.

CGW,

Those that have ‘em, have little need of false bravado.

Rikki,

I haven't "come around" per se. I feel that talk is preferable to violence if possible. I also feel that should violence be called for, in most cases it should be overwhelming and precise. WMDs change that equation.

Every attack against us including 9/11 has been carried out with “conventional” weapons. Airliners, while non-standard, are conventional as guided missiles with aviation fuel as the explosive. They have not deviated from “conventional” weapons up to this point.

Should Islamic extremists unleash radiological, chemical, or biological weapons, it raises the stakes immensely, and changes the rules of engagement.

At this point, we are (as western societies) only willing to engage in a highly limited war, with very restrictive rules of engagement. Large segments of our general populations don’t even believe we should be involved in combat operations in certain theaters. Only a very small minority of our populations are for expanding the rules of engagement.

That changes the second a WMD is deployed by Islamists. The only question is how much the rules will change. That may depend on the scale of the attack. What do I think might happen?

A chlorine gas attack by Islamic terrorists on a major population center would wound or kill tens if not hundreds of thousands. Think of what happened in Bhopal, India in 1984, with 10,000 dead and 200,000 injured. What would that do to public opinion? How much sympathy do you think there would be for the average Muslim, or the average Muslim-looking citizen? Little or none. Public opinion would cry for interment camps and mass deportation. Vigilante violence would occur on a wide scale. A few Muslim enclaves would burn, but most Muslims would survive, protected by reluctant governments, and they would be deported later.

Ratchet up the death toll with the use of nuclear weapons, and all bets are off. If Jihadis use nuclear weapons on multiple cities, hundreds of thousands, if not millions will die. Hundreds of millions of Muslims will die before the thirst for revenge will be sated should this come to pass.

Internally, summary executions of Muslim civilians in the street would probably occur with little law enforcement interference. Mosques and Islamic centers will be razed. Homes and businesses will burn. There will be few safe havens for Muslims. The hate will simply be too great. As a culture within the attacked country, Islam will be utterly destroyed.

The Middle East itself, no longer defensible by socialists and others, become a massive free-fire zone with unrestricted weapons. The final destruction of Islam will be swift, and perhaps total. Several Islamic capitals will be destroyed by submarine-launched, nuclear cruise missiles. Islamic nuclear sites, including “friendly” Pakistani sites, will be leveled. Mecca and Medina will disappear in a blinding flash.

Islam will be decapitated in less than 90 minutes form the time the order to fire is given.

Those that survive the blasts will be forced to convert. Those that won’t convert will be eliminated. Islam will be no more.

I do not understand what a terrorist hopes to accomplish using WMDs against us.

Do they actually think we would surrender?

Bob~ one can only Hope that common sense would overwhelm their fanaticism at the last moment.

Wouldn't that count as a Miracle, tho? Erf.

Bob, I never had doubts as to your fortitude. ;-)

As to Al-Qaida making a tactical strike, I can assure you it would be a HUGE mistake. I used to have a friend who worked as a missle targeter years ago in a lead shielded basement. Should they try to pull this one off, it will be the last thing they will ever do. And, since 9-11, I have no doubts that Mecca is targeted and will be the first thing to go.

Funny, in light of the information in this article, that thought doesn't bother me very much.

Regretable as the loss of life will be, I'm actually hoping that it happens because it'll wake up alot of people and, I believe, tip the scales against muslims everywhere to the extent that people will equate Islam with Nazism, Stalism, Fascism, etc.

Such an event won't mark the end of Western Civilization. No. Western Civilization will recover. But it will certainly toll the beginning of the end of Islam.

And it will get real ugly and really messy pretty quick. But, in the end, the world will be a better place after the scourge of Islam has been eradicated.

Anyone who believes in their heart that these Muslim fools will make the moral decision not to nuke the west - raise your hands.

Remember anything is ok in the name of bloody Allah and do not attempt to think while under the influence of Islam.

What hope for sober thought when an Islamic brain trust does not exist? God (not Allah) help us all.

Bob Owens:

I've seen no evidence that thinking comes into the equation.

After all, they believe that Allah will make them victorious over the 5 billion or so "Infidels" in the world, despite the fact that they've been repeatedly trounced by a mere 5 million Israelis.

mrpianomansmom:

I'd just like to say thanks for taking the time to make that post. Very valuable info.

Now, everyone start emailing and calling your Congressional Representatives. We should concentrate on making a wave of concern felt until it virtually pushes the bureaucrats out of their comfy chairs.

Re Foehammer's post, there is a complete list of governmental representatives to contact at NoJihad.com, complete with fax numbers (which you might want to verify first.) I'm sure that email addresses can be found online also, once you have the names of your reps.

I know that an Islamic Think Tank is the metal box one's head tumbles into after beheading..

But I don't know what an Islamic Brain Trust could be? Gonna have to think about that one. Hmmm...

Bob Owens,
"Do they actually think we would surrender."
Apparently so, they also think they are well on the road to victory judging by some of Reza's posts .

PS-You haven't responded to my reply post to you on the "pakistani prisoners article" I'm feeling to lazy to say it all again,but you asked "do you really want to kill a billion people." My answer was something like "I think there's some mix up as I never mentioned genocide in any of my comments on that page." But theres some other ranting (sarcasm) so read my man!!!

Hi There, I'm new to this site and hadn't seen much of the comments posted except for what I've read here this morning. I'd like to pass along a couple websites that I thought were interesting and of definate interest to us.

http://www.freedomhouse.org/religion/country/Saudi%20Arabia/War%20Against%20the%20Infidels.htm

http://www.memri.org/jihad.html

I find it very interesting we do not hear alot on the news about the direct threats Iran is giving us.

Welcome Mark!

Any and all info you bring with you is welcome. The more diverse our crowd becomes, the harder it will be for others (like those at the democratic underground) to refute this as some kind of white racist site.
