Author Paul Williams: Al-Qaida 'Definitely Has Nukes'

America is facing a nuclear attack from al-Qaida terrorists living in the U.S. or crossing our all but unguarded borders, warns Dr. Paul Williams in his chilling new book "The Day of Islam: The Annihilation of America and the Western World."

Remarkably, just hours after NewsMax.com conducted an exclusive interview with the author, U.S. authorities announced the arrest of three terrorists who planned an attack on New York City's JFK airport — which read as if details surrounding the plot had been taken directly from the pages of his book.

Williams, a former FBI consultant and an expert on the subjects of al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden, also is the author of "Osama's Revenge," "The Next 9/11," and "The al-Qaida Connection." He has long maintained that the menace posed by this sinister group of murderous terrorists is both real and widespread.

In his interview with NewsMax, Williams discussed al-Qaida's successful efforts to obtain nuclear weapons for use against the United States.

NewsMax: Does al-Qaida have nuclear weapons?

Williams: They definitely have nukes. There's no doubt about it. There's positive proof. As I wrote in my book, in the first three months of Operation Enduring Freedom — the Gulf War — our troops found in a cave outside of Khandahar in Afghanistan a canister filled with Uranium 238 [the basic ingredient for a nuclear bomb] and in Turnak Farms [where at one time 1,800 members of al-Qaida lived and worked] they found jars and jars and jars of yellow cake [pure uranium, dried].

The most alarming thing of all involved a Pakistani operative who was driving over the Allenby Bridge between Jordan and Israel in a shabby Volkswagen mini-bus. The Israelis stopped him and in the back of the Volkswagen was a plutonium implosion device, the most sophisticated of all nuclear weapons. According to the Mossad people I spoke to, it was in excess of 10 kilotons.

It could have taken out all of Israel in the blink of an eye. If one of these babies went off with 10 kilotons, first of all you'd have the conventional explosion, which if it occurred at the site of 9/11, would take out all of lower Manhattan.

From that would come a fireball that would be about 750 feet in diameter — the core would reach a temperature of 10 million degrees Celsius, which means in the blink of an eye everything would disintegrate. After that would come juggernaut blasts ripping through the city with winds in excess of 640 miles per hour, and after that would come the mushroom cloud and the radioactive fallout that would spew into the five boroughs of New York, into Connecticut and New Jersey. The end result is that millions would be dead.

NewsMax: What is the possibility that there is a store of nukes here in the United States?

Williams: There's no doubt about that. Before 9/11 a guy by the name of Sheik Kabbani, the president of the Supreme Islamic Council of North America, appeared before the Senate and the House and said that over 48 nukes were here. There was also a Waziristan summit meeting in Pakistan in April 2004. Attending it were the leading planners of the next 9/11. Included was one Sharif al Masry, and Adnan el-Shukrijumah, the next Mohammad Atta, and a terrorist from Brooklyn.

They all confirmed that nuclear weapons had been developed by al-Qaida with the help of scientists and technicians from the A.Q. Khan Research laboratories. The most chilling thing, they said was that all of the weapons had been forward deployed to Mexico and transported over the border into the U.S.

This story was reported in a little tiny paragraph in Time magazine. It was buried in there. The fact that nuclear weapons had been developed [by al-Qaida], and the researchers at the A.Q. Khan facility had confirmed that, and transported to Mexico and then into the United States — you couldn't get a bigger story than that.

NewsMax: Doesn't this indicate the seriousness of the problem with our borders?

Williams: It's madness. The borders are not just open. People say the "porousness" of our borders but that's not accurate — our borders are wide open.

Yeah- IF they had em, that would be the way to get them here.

And there are the technical problems with maintaining and using them.

A healthy skeptical question would be - if they had here, why hadn’t they used them?

You're right. They don't have them.

The guy's selling a book. That should answer anyone's questions.

But isn’t it too heavy to cart around in a carry-on bag?

It seems that if the guy needed a VW bus to carry the big bomb around, you couldn’t just haul it past even a weak security at the airport.

And yeah, the people in this country has its head in the sand — at least a goodly number — but so does our congress and that scares me even more.

I mean by that: we didn’t start the war on terror. So how can our congress declare it over? How dumb is that!!!?

If one wanted to detect Plutonium while driving around in a vehicle, what type of detection device would one use? Would it be a neutron detector? Are they portable?

Errr, umm, space modulator?

Ditto. If they had them, they would have used them already.

“A healthy skeptical question would be - if they had here, why hadn’t they used them?”

Good point. I think that they would have used it on Israel long before any thought of transporting such a device to the US.

If they had nukes, we’d know.

Is he selling books or telling truth?

"According to the Mossad people I spoke to, it was in excess of 10 kilotons.

Selling books

A prophet is always rejected in his own land.

McMaster University has brought a law suit against him for investigating Islamic terrorists at McMaster. He investigated the Muslim enclave called Islamberg. He got people to thinking about the radioactive Polonium 210 that poisoned Alexander Litvinenko, other than Putin's doing it. Now he's warning what our government says will eventually happen. And we all know the borders have been wide open since 911.

At any given time, there are millions of people there. Guards are all over the place to not only ensure that only the faithful go in, but to make sure that nothing weird is brought in. Mecca is one of the msot secure cities in the whole of Saudi Arabia. If OBL and his goons are truly religious, such an action would be unthinkable and the schmuck who suggested it is probably rotting somewhere in the deserts. It would be the equivalent of hiding the same in the Vatican. Most Catholics would never stand for it. They may be willing to do it in “mosques”, but the truly holy places are off limits.

Indeed, YES...!!!

It is possible that their sponsors (Russia, NK, Iran, etc.) haven’t given them the go-ahead yet. Note: it is not necessary that the sponsors share all political and religious ideology with the actors — they just need to share a common goal.

I find it hard to believe they wouldn’t have already used them.

Well probably because they have a larger strategy they’re trying to work out.

How short-sighted are most of you people?

Do you understand what they’re trying to do? I think they learned thier lesson about attacking too soon.

They didn’t anticipate our response to 9/11, so they learned that lesson.

I believe AQ is coordinating with Iran (it’s been specualted that Iran has shelted Osama at some point)

One possible explanation would be the knowledge that US submarines alone could and would eliminate Mecca and Medina within 24 hours of a nuke explosion in America.

I suspect, these terrorists aren't as stupid as we would like to think. They or their handlers (Russia, Korea, China, ?) are looking to create a scapegoat to shed doubt that the nuke came from Muslims.

But...who really knows?
