There was no independent corroboration of the report, which appeared in the newspaper al-Hayat under an Islamabad dateline and cited sources

At this point, independent corroboration would appear to be the issue.

Say it ain't so. However that is why Bush should have used all our resouces in eliminating Al Qaeda. A know source of terrorism. Rather than in Iraq an imagined one.

I don't know any more than the rest, of course, but this

Quote:
Al Qaeda would use the weapons only inside the United States or if the group faced a "crushing blow" which threatened its existence, such as the use of nuclear or chemical weapons against its fighters, the paper quoted its sources as saying.


sounds completely bogus. First, it is something a nation might put out as a rationalization. Second, covert terrorist organizations are not at all vulnerable to nuclear weapons, and probably have only limited risk from chemical weapons.

It is my understanding that the old Soviet Union did develop a suitcase bomb and not all of the ordnance as been accounted for. I can't document this, it is something I read several years ago and I've forgotten where. This could be serious.

Therefore this is probably the last we will hear of it. Remember, we are winning the war on terrror...Bush says so. This sort of news leaking out might prove him wrong. I will be very surprised if this gets any mention in the mainstream press.

I did a quick google search and this is the only site of substance I could find. What was interesting there was at least one site on terrorits threats that discussed the problem that was no longer operative.
