According to senior U.S. intelligence official, there is a "sudden rise in intelligence which strongly indicates that al-Qaeda has renewed plans to gain access to nuclear material that could form a primitive nuclear device, one perhaps that a suicide truck bomber could use."
"Al-Qaeda Increases Efforts to Develop 'Dirty bomb,'" by Gordon Thomas London for Epoch Times, November 22:
MI6 has issued a global priority warning to all security services that Islamic terrorists are now closer to obtaining material to create a “dirty bomb” to launch against Western targets.Osama bin Laden has long made this a priority and reinforced it with regular messages from his mountain redoubt in the north-west province of Pakistan. He has repeatedly said every “true Muslim must make it his duty to assist in all ways possible to find the next powerful weapon to destroy our enemies”.
After the election of the new Pakistani president, the controversial Asif Ali Zardari, who has served a nine-year jail term on corruption charges he has strongly denied, MI6 fear there will be little ability to provide strong leadership against the new wave of Islamic extremism that al-Qaeda has launched across the country.
Groups such as the newly formed Pakistan Taliban have proclaimed it is focussing on creating a “dirty bomb”.
MI6 agents based in Islamabad fear the mounting instability in Pakistan will make it easier for them to do so.
While Pakistan is the only Muslim country with a nuclear arsenal, it has in the past provided its expertise to Iran.
Pakistan’s Islam bomb was developed in the 1990s by the rogue scientist, Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan. He sold them to pariah states like North Korea and Libya. He was placed under house arrest by Pervez Musharraf.
But since Musharraf was forced to resign, restrictions on Khan’s detention have been virtually lifted–a decision that has alarmed Western diplomats in Pakistan.
While Musharraf readily agreed for the US to place stringent security around Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, there are serious concern that President Zardari will not be able to resist the rampant pressure al-Qaeda is mounting from its terrorist infrastructure base in Waziristan province in the north-west of the country.
A senior U.S. security official in Islamabad said: “Our concern is the sudden rise in intelligence which strongly indicates that al-Qaeda has renewed plans to gain access to nuclear material that could form a primitive nuclear device, one perhaps that a suicide truck bomber could use”.
In a “dirty bomb”, conventional explosives are surrounded with radioactive material.
The MI6 priority alert says such a device, while having a limited effect as a nuclear weapon, would create widespread panic.An indication of how the threat has increased has been the number of terrorist-related websites which contain details of how to create a “dirty bomb”. As soon as the sites are discovered, they are eradicated by MI6’s experts. But within days they reappear elsewhere.
Muslims out to harm and kill. Film at 11...
" He has repeatedly said every “true Muslim must make it his duty to assist in all ways possible to find the next powerful weapon to destroy our enemies”.
I would say terrorism is related to Islam...
Given that the likely targets of said attacks will be US or coalition forces in Muslim countries, more Muslims than infidels will be hurt by "the Muslim bomb".
Is Obamy gonna grease the dirty bomb skids?
Well, I mean, sweet lil Bama doesn't want Big Ole Mean USA to scare an AlQaida thug with "waterboarding"..........
Or the Wicked USA intercepting phone calls from Ahmad to Muhammad
I've been saying this from day one and I'll continue saying this until my end; The only way to stop the Islamic threat in the West is to COMPLETELY REMOVE ISLAM from it. That means all Muslims and those born in the West repatriated to Islamic lands. It means the immediate end in travel to and from Islamic lands as well as the trade with them too. This is why we need an alternative to OIL asap, or else there will be nothing we can do to stop 'dirty bombs' from going off.
There are probably 4/5 million Muslims in the UK and latest studies show that at least 40% of them are pro Islamisation of the UK. That's around 2 million people!!!
There is nothing we will be able to do as the threat posed by Muslim terrorists is far greater than that posed by previous IRA terrorists. There were also significantly less IRA terrorists involved in active terror campaigns on the UK mainland.
People do not see the gravity of this situation. 20 Muslim terrorists could bring the UK to a halt if they wanted to and there are at least one thousand times that number, currently being protected by our Police, Establishments and Human Rights Doctrines not forgetting Shami Chakrabarti's Liberty!
Think about it. What would happen if Islamists within the UK decided to all 'go off' around the UK strapped to dirty bombs? We are looking at massive bloodshed and destruction. The authorities will continue to NOT recognise that Islam is the problem and not Radicalism as they continue to state. They do not realise that Islam is NOT the Religion of Peace. They do not realise that Islam wants Islamisation of the West and that all Muslims regardless of being passive or aggressive want the same outcome, although travelling different paths.
This is nothing more than madness. I wonder how soon it will be before Major Cities in the West turn into Jerusalems and Tel Avivs, however with a much larger destructive pay load? Will the west wake up to Islam then or continue to think it its friend?
There's that age old parable of the scorpion and the frog, that I always think of when I think of Islam and especially its intentions in the West. Islam will never change as reformation would mean denouncing the creator of their cult - Muhammad and his teachings. In doing this would mean the destruction of Islam.
The things that need to be done to stop the Islamic advances in the West are not being done. No one in the various governments has been able to wrap their mind around the problem. This indicates that we are not prepared to deal with this threat in any way shape or form. With all our military might, we will lose this war of civilizations if for no other reason than we failed to recognize Islam for what it is and deal with it.
It is as though we are in some sci-fi movie where the aliens are here to kill us and no one sees them except for a few.

Odd you mention the above. In a previous post on JW I mentioned that I felt like Kevin McCarthy(the Hero from the original 1956 IotBS) at the beginning of Invasion of the Body Snatcher(remake 1978) who madly runs around the city shouting "They're here, they're here" before being knocked down.
If anyone has ever read Sun Tzu's Art of War then they will know that the basic rule of warfare is "To know thy Enemy" if you are ever to defeat them. Islam is invading the West like the film above. We are welcoming them and not noticing their plans and they are winning the war of Stealth Jihad. It's all rather ironic considering that the Great Civilisation of the West will fall without a battle cry being heard.

Sorry I didn't see your earlier post or I would have acknowledged it. You are absolutely correct in your evaluation and Stealth Jihad confirms this less than obvious invasion.
