Al-Qaeda May Use Mexico to Smuggle Nukes

Law officers on both sides of the borders are on edge as Mexico is named as the preferred al-Qaeda route to launch a WMD attack on the American homeland, according to a report in Time Magazine.

Two weeks ago a crop-duster aircraft was stolen south of San Diego by three men from southern Mexico who assaulted a watchman and then flew off in a southerly direction. The still missing plane can be used to disperse toxic substances and is just one episode that has captured the attention of officials.

Sharif al-Masri, an Egyptian who was captured in late August near Pakistan's border with Iran and Afghanistan, has told his interrogators that al-Qaeda has considered plans to "smuggle nuclear materials to Mexico, then operatives would carry material into the U.S," according to the Time report.

I searched for this and it wasn't up. I wonder if the goobers are planning a big bang?

The security measures used at Fort Bliss need to be applied all the way down the border.

Close the damn border

[Prime Choice]

Meanwhile, Vicente Fox demands that we make our border even more porous and our leadership seems all too willing to oblige.

If the next terrorist attack comes via the Mexican border, the Republican Party can kiss its majority role and the White House goodbye for at least another 12 years.

Think Limo Libs will finally get upset at someone other that us if Hollywood gets nuked?

Nah! It's Bush's fault.

[Joe Boucher]

They will try to use our own nuclear weapons that are here already to destroy us. Much the way they used existing cruise missles on the 9-11 attacks.
Why get caught screwing around with Mexico except to get caught and throw U.S. authorities off course?
Pay better attention to nuke plants security and weapons depots as well as all those responsible for protecting these also L.N.G. installations.

DUH !

And all the missing Propane tanks going missing in the midwest.

This is sage advice, and we have to start thinking outside the box.

Propane tanks are stolen in order to have a container to put stolen anhydrous ammonia in. The anhydrous ammonia is a precursor chemical used to produce methamphetamine.

[Cicero]

Also, I have wondered if some of these propane tanks aren't being stolen simply because propane has gotten to be so expensive.

However, based on this incident it appears that if they put the nuke in a truck and painted "Allah's Hammer" on the side the Border Patrol would not be allowed to shoot at it to stop it.

I`d suggest by way of Canada myself, Hammas still isn`t listed as a terror group there. All the dense forestry along the northern border...or by way of boat across one of the great lakes...

My guess is that none of them is Hispanic except for possibly #3. How am I doing?

[CAPTAIN PHOTON]

I think this is an impossible scenerio since Bush and Ashcroft have already announced that only hard working illegals come in from the southern border. And if al woggie
does sneak across the border and blow up a city...his hard work has earned him amnesty!

FTAA and open borders is the only answer. Once they get here and get to democracy their terrorist ways will be over. Freedom and democracy is all they are after. (BS) with a little sarcasm thrown in.

People are stealing guardrails and overpass railings too, scrap steel is way up.
