Perhaps we ought to think about moving Alcor away from Phoenix, one of America's largest cities? from debka.com, the Israeli intelligence website that was, AFAIK, the first news media organization to break the news that American forces were moving into Afghanistan: In a special investigation,DEBKA-Net-Weekly learned from well-placed intelligence sources that the millionaire terror master did procure a supply of uranium-235 six months before his Al Qaeda suicides carried out their September 11 strikes in America. The uranium was delivered following an extraordinary deal between the most wanted terrorist in the world and one of the world s most dangerous mobsters, a shadowy Ukrainian-born Jew called Semion Mogilevich, who rules over an arms-trafficking, money-laundering, drug-running, prostitution and graft empire. Sources who spoke to DEBKA-Net-Weekly on condition of anonymity report that for a princely sum estimated at US$40 - 75 million, Bin Laden bought between 12 and 15 kilos of uranium-235, all of which came from Russia or some Central Asian Muslim republic. If this is true, the master terrorist has enough fissionable material to build between 3 and 5 nuclear devices. A detailed account of how the nuclear material was sold, smuggled and delivered to Bin Laden is carried in the latest issue of DEBKA-Net-Weekly, the exclusive electronic newsletter put out for subscribers by DEBKAfile.

Top "What we believe is that they have a crude chemical and possibly biological [weapons] capability," a senior defense official said. "And if there's any nuclear capability, it is liable to be more radiological than fissile," the official said. Radiological weapons are bombs that combine radioactive material with conventional explosives to increase their deadliness. A fissile nuclear device produces a nuclear blast. ...................................... Here is a scenario: smuggle the 15 kilos U235 into the USA. Buy ingredients for a Tim McVeigh type fertilizer bomb. Prepare fertilizer bomb, and grind the U235 into dust (easy to do with "suicide grinder".). Then place U235 and bomb into large van and have 22 bombers (not necessarily suiciders!) rent a house outside 15 large metro areas (you figure .75 Kilos or so of U235 dust is sufficient to contaminate the core of the 15 largest American metro areas). Then just wait for a windy day, with the wind blowing into the city. Might Phoenix be large enough to be a target? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
