"...using nuclear weapons already smuggled into the country across the Mexican border..."

Doesn't sound feasible.

It seems very unlikely most or any of those bombs would even work. Suitcase nukes need very regular maintenance in order to stay operational. You can't just leave it lying around for a few years and then use it. It very likely wont work. Also you have to wonder why Russians would sell Al Queda any nukes that actually work at all. Why bother? Would they really know the difference? Could they test one without us locating the blast? Flame away...just trying to inject some doubts into what I see as a rather hysterical Farah effort at self-promotion (wouldn't be the first).

Maybe not.

Scares me though that the New York Times, Washington Post and Washington Times have all mentioned this "plot" by name at one time or another.

Not that they can necessarily strike on the scale described. I certainly wouldn't know whether they can or not.

Would suspect if they do strike it would be on a lesser scale.

If it happens, we have the excuse to finally wipe out the enemy, by any and all means available. Nuclear, chemical, biological and conventional.

And, if a few hundred billion Chinese happen to get in the way......how do they say?..."..the fortunes of war"?

[Servant of the 9]

No one is stupid enough to try sneaking a nuke across a land border when they can just put it in a container and have it shipped to any major port.
If you got causgght on the land border and had to self destruct, you would accomplish nothing.
If sent by sea and customs happens to open that container, it goes off and takes out that city. If they don't open it, it is delivered to al-Quaida agents here and they can take it anywhere.
