Osama bin Laden and nuclear weapons

by Wm. Robert Johnston
last updated 22 September 2002

Al Qaeda's interest in nuclear weapons has been a recent topic of discussion and a highly relevant one. There is little hard data addressing the question of how close bin Laden's organization is to a nuclear weapons capability. What little data there is has sometimes been misrepresented in media reports. Thus, this review may be useful.

Al Qaeda's Nuclear Program: Through the Window of Seized Documents

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1657901.stm

Al-Qaeda nuclear plans confirmed

The United States has confirmed that documents found in a Kabul building believed to have been used as a safe house by Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network contained details about how to produce nuclear weapons.

US Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge said the information could have been found on the internet and it did not mean Bin Laden was able to build a nuclear device.

We have to be prepared for all eventualities, including a nuclear threat

Tom Ridge, US Homeland Security Director"Much of that information could have been taken right off the internet some years ago. So there is nothing unusual about that information," said Mr Ridge.

It comes after Britain's Times newspaper said one of its reporters found the papers, which were partly burned, as the city was taken over by Northern Alliance fighters.

Mr Ridge said their discovery was consistent with statements made by Bin Laden - the main suspect in the 11 September suicide hijackings - that he wanted to acquire a nuclear capability.

The documents explained how to detonate explosives to compress plutonium and trigger a thermonuclear reaction.

They were in Arabic, German, Urdu and English.

“12th imam Operation” a Multiple Nuclear Attack
by Curt Weldon/ July 16, 2005
Not long after 9/11, Congressman Weldon found himself on the front lines of the War on Terror, enmeshed in international intrigues with spies and killers. He learned about plots to assassinate world figures (including a former U.S. President) and of a plot to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans by radiation poisoning. Ultimately, he would discover a still more audacious plot -- one that is still unfolding. It's a plan to inflict a terrorist attack on the United States -- an attack of such catastrophic dimensions that it is code-named after Shi'ite Islam's 12th imam: the prophet of doom who ushers in the Islamic apocalypse, rewarding the faithful and, with appalling violence, purging all infidels from the face of the Earth.
[Weldon explains] how the 12th Imam operation could paralyze the whole nation and end with the death of two-thirds of our people by slow starvation. http://www.falange.us/countdown.htm
