George Noory just announced that Rep. Tom Tancredo is requesting a formal meeting with the Justice Department to discuss Al Qaeda nukes coming across the border.
Here is a bomb damage calculator.

"A
suitcase nuke in NYC will cause LESS damage than the WTC collapse."
Gee, that is sure reassuring. For a minute I was actually worried about nuclear devices in the hands of muslim evil-doers.
Yeah, I heard that punk from Canada a few minutes ago. At least we have Tancredo who is on the ball!!

DEBKA Rules!
Some good donuts aye!
I think Paul Williams did an excellent job!! Kudos!
Not necessarily. Since the terrorist murderist killers know they would most likely get only one chance to hit the Great Satan with WMDs -- they would need to make absolutely certain that all pieces were in just the right places. They also need to make ready the WMDs whatever they may be.
And there are few experts who do NOT believe that the terrorists won't try. America will surely be the target of WMDs when and if the terrorists obtain / perfect them.
This would take years of planning and changing plans in reaction to our defensive measures especially over these recent years.
The threat remains as real as it always has. It is the fear of official DC and NY, so you can believe the threat is taken seriously.
If not soon, then one day, the terrorists thugs -- fueled by their ferocious hatred -- will make their move when they are ready at a date and time that they choose.
And al qaeda is not an uneducated and untrained group of thugs, as we know. Many key leaders are highly educated hold degrees and are highly skilled. Even the 19 killers on 911 were educated.
There are many nuke techs out there from Pakistan, North Korea, Russis, etc. We hope such a collaboration didn't / doesn't come true, but how can we count it out? That would be foolhardy.
Does AQ have them and have they smuggled them into America? That is debatable.
Agree. They have a saying that goes something like:
"I waited 200 years to take my revenge, then I cursed myself for my impatience"
I'm not in the 'if they had them they would have used them' crowd. The Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures are not generally into the instant gratification thing... as we are in the West.
I don't believe in suitcase nukes. They're extremely hard to manufacture,maintain, and they've been made obsolete by sub-launched ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
They may be hard to manufacture and maintain, but that does not mean they don't exist. They are real. That is not debatable. As I said before, what is debatable is wether or not AQ or other terrorists have them.
