WASHINGTON – As London recovers from the latest deadly al-Qaida attack that killed at least 50, top U.S. government officials are contemplating what they consider to be an inevitable and much bigger assault on America – one likely to kill millions, destroy the economy and fundamentally alter the course of history, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
According to captured al-Qaida leaders and documents, the plan is called the "American Hiroshima" and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. over the Mexican border with the help of the MS-13 street gang and other organized crime groups.
Al-Qaida has obtained at least 40 nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union – including suitcase nukes, nuclear mines, artillery shells and even some missile warheads. In addition, documents captured in Afghanistan show al-Qaida had plans to assemble its own nuclear weapons with fissile material it purchased on the black market.
In addition to detonating its own nuclear weapons already planted in the U.S., military sources also say there is evidence to suggest al-Qaida is paying former Russian special forces Spetznaz to assist the terrorist group in locating nuclear weapons formerly concealed inside the U.S. by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Osama bin Laden's group is also paying nuclear scientists from Russia and Pakistan to maintain its existing nuclear arsenal and assemble additional weapons with the materials it has invested hundreds of millions in procuring over a period of 10 years.
The plans for the devastating nuclear attack on the U.S. have been under development for more than a decade. It is designed as a final deadly blow of defeat to the U.S., which is seen by al-Qaida and its allies as "the Great Satan."
At least half the nuclear weapons in the al-Qaida arsenal were obtained for cash from the Chechen terrorist allies.
But the most disturbing news is that high level U.S. officials now believe at least some of those weapons have been smuggled into the U.S. for use in the near future in major cities as part of this "American Hiroshima" plan, according to an upcoming book, "The al-Qaida Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime and the Coming Apocalypse," by Paul L. Williams, a former FBI consultant.
According to Williams, former CIA Director George Tenet informed President Bush one month after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that at least two suitcase nukes had reached al-Qaida operatives in the U.S.
"Each suitcase weighed between 50 and 80 kilograms (approximately 110 to 176 pounds) and contained enough fissionable plutonium and uranium to produce an explosive yield in excess of two kilotons," wrote Williams. "One suitcase bore the serial number 9999 and the Russian manufacturing date of 1988. The design of the weapons, Tenet told the president, is simple. The plutonium and uranium are kept in separate compartments that are linked to a triggering mechanism that can be activated by a clock or a call from the cell phone."
According to the author, the news sent Bush "through the roof," prompting him to order his national security team to give nuclear terrorism priority over every other threat to America.
However, it is worth noting that Bush failed to translate this policy into securing the U.S.-Mexico border through which the nuclear weapons and al-Qaida operatives are believed to have passed with the help of the MS-13 smugglers. He did, however, order the building of underground bunkers away from major metropolitan areas for use by federal government managers following an attack.

Bin Laden, according to Williams, has nearly unlimited funds to spend on his nuclear terrorism plan because he has remained in control of the Afghanistan-produced heroin industry. Poppy production has greatly increased even while U.S. troops are occupying the country, he writes. Al-Qaida has developed close relations with the Albanian Mafia, which assists in the smuggling and sale of heroin throughout Europe and the U.S.
Some of that money is used to pay off the notorious MS-13 street gang between $30,000 and $50,000 for each sleeper agent smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico. The sleepers are also provided with phony identification, most often bogus matricula consular ID cards indistinguishable from Mexico's official ID, now accepted in the U.S. to open bank accounts and obtain driver's licenses.
The Bush administration's unwillingness to secure the U.S.-Mexico border has puzzled and dismayed a growing number of activists and ordinary citizens who see it as the No. 1 security threat to the nation. The Minuteman organization is planning a major mobilization of thousands of Americans this fall designed to shut down the entire 2,000-mile border as it did in April with a 23-mile stretch in Arizona.
According to Williams' sources, thousands of al-Qaida sleeper agents have now been forward deployed into the U.S. to carry out their individual roles in the coming "American Hiroshima" plan.
Bin Laden's goal, according to the book, is to kill at least 4 million Americans, 2 million of whom must be children. Only then, bin Laden has said, would the crimes committed by America on the Arab and Muslim world be avenged.
There is virtually no doubt among intelligence analysts al-Qaida has obtained fully assembled nuclear weapons, according to Williams. The only question is how many. Estimates range between a dozen and 70. The breathtaking news is that an undetermined number of these weapons, including suitcase bombs, mines and crude tactical nuclear weapons, have already been smuggled into the U.S. – at least some across the U.S.-Mexico border.
The future plan, according to captured al-Qaida agents and documents, suggests the attacks will take place simultaneously in major cities throughout the country – including New York, Boston, Washington, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles.
In response to the G2 Bulletin revelations, Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a citizen action group demanding the U.S. government take control of its borders, said an immediate military presence on the borders is now imperative "to stop the overwhelming influx of unidentified, potentially hostile and seditious persons coming across at an alarming rate."
"Terrorists have carte blanche to carry practically anything they want across our national line at this time," he said. "As ordinary citizens have warned this government for years, the only surprising part about the new information reported here is that nothing apocalyptic from Mexican-border weapons trafficking has yet happened. Terrorism has reared its ugly head in London again these past few days, and as we know all too well we are not immune in this country. At this point, the next attempt to attack America at home is just a matter of 'when,' not 'if.' And our unsecured borders have surely contributed to this threat – yet our government officials continue to fiddle while our nation's margin of security and safety burns away. The president and Congress had better wake up before they have to answer for another devastating terrorist incursion on our own soil."

I suppose it could be true.
But the US still holds a nuclear doctrine called MAD. All we have to do is point 25% of our nuclear arsenal at every population center in the middle east. If all-squida detonates a nuke or a series of nukes in the US, they potentially seal the death warrants of hundreds of millions muslims and permantly lose their holiest sites forever.
Wouldn't that be demorilizing for muslims to know that their 'all powerful' allah couldn't stop the US from turning Mecca into an uninhabitable glass parking lot for the next 10k years and that they couldn't fulfil their duties as muslims and had nowhere to point their heads and eat dirt?
They would be just as much the fools as the Soviets would have been during the cold war.
I must agree that smuggling due to poor border control will lead to the deaths of many innocent men, women, & children...both Americans and illegal aliens.....
If this suitcase nuke was built in 1988 as the article says, it's unlikely it would be activated by cellphone, which although invented, was in its infancy in 1988.
This story sounds more like a Tom Clancy book than reality.
Nukes in the U.S. today? Maybe, maybe not. But with so much of the world hating us and so much of the world's resources in the hands of states and groups that hate us it seems inevitable.
If not nukes, then other WMDs (biological or chemical). Given the resources it seems a very small group is sufficient to deliver WMDs.
How do we prevent such threats? Closing the borders seems the only way. That would leave only the internal threats and conventional war with states to watch.
But can we do even that?
There is techonology to detect the neighborhood-level proximity of these bombs, even if they are lead shielded. I think it would be nice, prudent, if we made a few thousands of that technology and established a nationwide network.
At least there are some precautions that conservatives can take that lefties simply won't contemplate:
1) Don't live or work within a mile of an obvious target if you can really help it. Maybe I would take a good job in Washington DC...but preferably my office would be more than one mile upwind of the mall. These nukes won't be that powerful.
2) Don't live or work downwind 5 miles of an obvious target.
3) Don't own real estate in the above areas of at least the 6 most likely to be targeted urban centers.
Those rules aren't that hard to abide by in the post 9-11 world. They would ruin the lives of about 4 million people if the fallout is bad enough. It would cost them all of Saudi Arabia, every last Palestinian, probably Damascus, Cairo, Peshawar, Karachi, Islamabad...and, and, and.
The nukes wouldn't destroy any American city. Just mess up the downtown, and irradiate hundreds of thousands in addition to the 50,000 or so who will die in the blast. It would be a small prinprick to deliver to America in return for the annihilation of much of Muslim civilization.
"First, you insist that Iran will detonate an EMP nuke over America to fry our infrastructure, now you're going off about al Qaeda nukes "already" in the U.S.
"
Even if they did, our military command and control centers are hardened and invulnerable to such an attack. All it would do is kill the lights for us civilians but our military and nuclear arsenal would be more than ready to duke it out.
They think what we did to Iraq was hot stuff? Iraq was a joke. We could have taken out every government in the entire middle east with little or no more forces than we have in Iraq right now...if we were to fight the war like wars were fought during WWII.
We're fighting this stupid war with both hands ties behind our back and our feet shackled. Waking this country up like what happened during WWII would be an utterly amazing and awesome spectacle. These stupid shithole countries and idiot terrorists over there have no idea what hell they'd unleash upon themselves. They'd better hope there’s an allah at that point because that’s where they'd all be going in a hurry.
"The only certain deterrence for this eventuality is for President Bush to clearly and publicly state that if we are hit with a nuke ,or nukes , in America , that we will nuke Mecca and Medina in immediate response"
I had a professor in 1979 at the University of Washington assert this same perspective during the Iranian hostage situation.
MAD should be updated to account for religious extremists.
Tehran....numero uno!
MS-13 is an exreme paranoid and dangerous group, but they are not that stupid, they make their profit in the united states, helping it destroying it won't do any good.
What? And risk offending millions of GOP-leaning Hispanic voters? You must be kidding!
This worries me to no end. They can also use their Time Machines to go back and get more nukes. And with their advanced Warp Drive ships they will be dropping them all over the place at the same time. Those crafty devils will no doubt think of a way to drop the same nuke over and over, perhaps using their Teleportaion Devices in those same Warp Drive ships. Damn, now I gave them another idea!
Otherwise it is just scaremongering to make money.
Where's the evidence?
I'm in full agreement. Until I see Geraldo Rivera taking us on a tour of all locations where the hidden weapons are located, I will not believe a word of any report that they exist.
/sarcasm
Saddam couldn't get one delivered to Iraq but the terrorists get 40 delivered to the US. Okie dokie.
uhhhh...Maybe Geraldo could open Al Capone's vault again?
