Author Paul Williams: Al-Qaida 'Definitely Has Nukes'
NewsMax ^ | Tuesday, June 5, 2007 | Phil Brennan

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.

This is the first I have heard of anyone finding a 10 megaton nuke on its way to Isreal. This is series. Vey series.

“If you blow up this country with nukes, who is going to be around to give the order against whom???’

Probably multiple targets (Teheran, etc.) pre programmed into automatic launchers set to launch upon detection of a nuke attack. They fly around in stealth C-130’s and Dick Cheney is usually on one, waiting. Everybody knows that.

That is usually true with great works of fiction. ;-)

As you can probably guess, I don't give these revelations much credibility.

When did Bush tear down the Mexican wall? Am I missing something? I believe this problem has been going on for a long time. The Muslim enemy arrived before 2000 and has been planning as such.

What does "wide open" mean? To me it would mean an illegal could walk right across the border pretty much anywhere, anytime he wanted.

So then, how are thousands upon thousands of illegals and possible terrorists coming across? Most don't just casually walk across and catch a cab. (Most prefer to catch a coyote). Get serious, Stu. They use any means possible, while BREAKING THE LAW and the fact is, they do get across. Just take a look around. You quibble about the semantics of a phrase and miss the point.

The problem is so bad that the BP can't even keep up with it. And when they DO their job to prevent a drug smuggler from coming across with a boatload of drugs, they are convicted by some multi-nationalist prosecutor and sent away to rot. Our government is obviously complicite in this 'open borders' policy and it bothers me. I hope it bothers you. Some work has been done... granted that... but the border is as porous as cheesecloth. And if you think that the status quo is working you are fooling yourself.

As to your comment why the illegals don't go back home, like they used to in the good old days. Why should they? They can now stay here with the blessing of our government. There's lots of jobs, then there is instant citizenship and schooling for the kiddies, free medical care, lots of other goodies and freebies that the American citizen is not privy to. So they stay! Get it? The illegal got across and decided it was so good they stayed. No need to go back... just send the check and then later the rest of the family can come across. The pickin's are pretty good. I must say if I were in that position and all that was offered to me, I think I'd take them up on it too.

You're in Texas and I'm in Kalifornia. We were on the front-lines. Now all the states are being overwhelmed. And not just with the mexican worker looking for a job. What keeps me awake at night are the people who have a crazy religious objective and want nothing more in this life than to kill the kuffar. I'm a citizen, I've got grandkids and I don't want this country to lose it sovereignty and I don't want to loose it to a nuke because we didn't do enough to prevent some guy, sneaking over the border, with some nuclear surprise package.

I'm pretty steamed about this immigration bill so I just let a bit out. The point of this thread is that there are people that want to kill us. They have said that there will be an 'American Hiroshima'. And you know the phrase... where there is a will... there is a way.

If somebody warns me that the wolf is at the door, I'm not going invite him in for dinner.

Speaking of dinner, chicken pesto is about to be served.

You scoffers.. consider this.



George Washington's 3rd vision



"And again I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene: from each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one. Throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America. Our country was enveloped in this volume of cloud, and 1 saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up. As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I heard again the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast.

"Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word 'Union,' end who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle.

"Again, amid the fearful noise. of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious!

"Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice:'While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last.' And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word 'Union,' he placed it upon the National Standard while the people, kneeling down, said, 'Amen.'

"The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappearing, I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful is the third, but in this greatest conflict the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and the Union.' With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown to me the birth, progress, and destiny of the United States."

Look up the “Davey Crockett” recoilless round. 56 kg and about as twice as big as a basketball.

I’ve heard Lou Engle (I think it was him) speak about that vision before. Very interesting and chilling. I do believe that America has a divine path to follow, a holy mission to build the Kingdom of God.

I place a lot more stock in prophetic utterances than this guy’s book though. This article just seems so far out that it’s reached the realm of the ridiculous.

Why not? I'm old enough to remember (and you don't have to be that old) when they used to do exactly that. Must be that the borders are not, as you claimed, "wide open" but in fact increasingly more difficult to cross.

Again, I'm not disagreeing with you about the need for better border security. I just think ridiculous and delusional hyperbole is, in the end, damaging to effectively addressing the problem. It can, and I think does, drive people towards embracing false "panaceas" that will not work, and prematurely abandoning policies that are working and should instead be pressed further.

Besides, it's just intellectually dishonest rabble rousing which needs to be exposed and opposed on principle. I'll continue to do so even if I'm the only freeper who does.

But remember--to the Left, George Orwell's prophesies are of an earthly utopia, and 1984 is a description of paradise on earth, one the Left struggles to implement.

The Left sees Animal Farm from the point of view of the pigs--not the animals who are less equal (to hell with them! Or to the glue factory!).

Leftists envision the rest of us peering through the windows, unable to tell the pigs from the "humans"...and themselves inside, sipping champagne--or perhaps the most expensive French cognac, with Kim Jon Il--also unable to tell the difference between themselves and the "humans".

If this guy was the only guy saying this stuff I would discount him too.. but he’s not alone. I dont have to compile for you a list of things that I’ve read.. but I’m reading all over the place (and not in US Media of course... put a fork in the US Media because it’s useless bordering on collaboration).. particularly in the UK Press, warning about impending imminent unspecific nuclear terrorism

I always get flamed for this, but..

The only thing these freaks seem to care about is the big black box in Mecca. If I was Prez, I'd make it clear that the next major attack on the US would result in their cult's hub getting vaporized.

If you're going to flame me, don't bother. I've heard it all before.

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

I don't believe that he is actually saying that they have them here in America, but this argument is a fallacy anyway.

It's tantamount to saying that because there haven't been any attacks in America, that therefore there are no members of Al Qaeda here, or saying in August of 2001 that they didn't have the capability to destroy the World Trade Center because it hadn't happened yet.

It's absolutely critical that we understand that our radical Islamist enemies take the long view of warfare, and they are nothing if not patient and determined. 9/11 was a operation about ten years in the making.
