MUSLIM CLERIC INSISTS 20 'SUITCASE NUKES' IN U.S.
News Max.com ^ | Monday, November 19, 2001 GMT | Dave Eberhart

A leading Muslim cleric Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, founder of the Islamic Supreme Council of America (ISCA), insists bin Ladens network has bought more than 20 nuclear warheads carried in suitcases.

In 1999 Kabbani first warned the U.S. State Department of bin Laden's impending terrorism.

He told the U.S. Government bin Laden was training suicide bombers in Afghanistan ready to move to any part of the world.

Kabbani said the nuclear weapons, sometimes referred to as "suitcase bombs", were sold by the Russian mafia.

How about...hey...maybe plans for de-stablizing tail fins of airbuses.

How about a bad hair day for Hillary Clinton.

What we need is a pepto bismol and a nap.I think they have all come out of the woodwork here...and with the anniversary of the shooting of JFK coming up this month.More conspiracy theories.We better hope to God they don't have one suitcase nuke let alone 20.

"One might wonder what occasion Bin Laden is saving them for though."

His death or capture. One at a time would get him released, more than likely. Or most of them if he's killed. They Love Revenge.

PLEASE tell me you're right, to wit: the nukes are NOT in the USA. I hope you are right. When I read my husband the lead article in this thread, he said the same thing you did. He's always contended that they used up all their weaponry on 911, and that there'll be NO further terrorist attacks on American soil for a very very very long time, if ever.

I thought I recognized the name of this muslim, and I did.

This sheik is a world renown Sufi, and his books are numerous and extremely intellectual and scholarly. Here's one page of his book titles at Amazon:

Where in the Caucasus is Kabbani from? It is my understanding that he's been in California for a LONG time - longer than a decade.

One tell-tale sign of an extremist mosque, said Kabanni, was an unhealthy focus on the Palestinian struggle.

You have mail.

With wide open borders, free flow of financing, and campaign contributions to the Democrap party during the Clinton administration, Al Quata had the run of the country.
Heck, they helped Hillary get elected.

Terrorism tolerance is another name for political correctness.

Guess it's time to get rid of the Democrap party. Lets roll!

I hope someone in the FBI is taking this seriously and following up on it. ---Fitz

I think we the American People should be taking this seriously. Not this particular report --- which is most-likely a PR hoax --- but the very real possibility that the Russian Mafia has sold bombs to terrorists and the very real possibility that those terrorists either have one inside the USA or will try to sneak one in at some future date.

The way to get serious, in my opinion, is to recognize how deep the hatred for us is in the Muslim community, rethink the the whole question of immigration law, put aside our fears of profiling, support a Terrorist Deportation Plan and let our representatives know our votes will hinge on this issue.

"Are you positive we would get off a shot? Remember this isn't Al Qaida. It's North Korea, China, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Russia (most probably if the chips were down), Pakistan against lil ole USA. Thatsalottanukes."

One of the big problems with people such as yourself as well as most journalists is that you are hopelessly uneducated.

Educated people know that the U.S. has nuclear-armed Trident submarines which can not be detected by the rest of the world. It's safe to say that they would always be able to get off a shot. Educated people know that the U.S. maintains secure ICBM's in thousands of diverse locations. Timing and geography insure that we will always be able to get most of those shots off regardless of the form of attack against us.

Further, educated people know that North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and Syria have never carried out a single nuclear test (which are easily detected with century-old seismic equipment). You don't go starting a nuclear war with the U.S. if you aren't certain that your nukes work in the first place.

Moreover, Russia is on our side and China DESPISES the Islamic militants who are causing trouble in its Western provinces. In fact, Russia is literally at war with Muslims in Chechnya, Bosnia, and Serbia/Kosovo. Furthermore Russia really wants to sell its oil to the largest oil consumer on the planet, the U.S. (not that you'd know that fact, either). Clearly their economy would suffer if the largest market in the world were to be suddenly nuked.

What is even more clear is that you are a typical uneducated newbie who spouts nonsense on FR. Come back when you get a real education. Until then, go away.

Perhaps they don't want to destroy the US, but to convert it to Islam. Maybe they want to keep the nukes undetonated as a bargaining chip in the war that they must have known they would start by the attacks on 9-11. Could it be that they are just waiting to see how things will work out in this conflict? They may be using the fact that there is no official "Islamic United Empire" to their advantage, as the US doesn't even have a country to declare war against officially. Keep in mind that this enemy is using our own power against us, time and again.

They are a mostly united force, but not a sovereign nation. The question is: Is our love for freedom more powerful than their religious zeal?

Last year I shipped 35 boxes back from Europe. Some heavy, some not so heavy. Some very large. Not one box had the tape cracked open...not one. I could have shipped anything in the world into this country.

Hi. If you ever have time at a bookstore to page through some of Kabbani's books... you'll probably agree that he's not the *type* for wishful thinking. He is very high-brow, exceedingly intellectual, and very scientific in his orientation.

I am NOT arguing with you -- I am just sharing that I once looked at a number of his books, and he is obviously very intelligent and educated.

I think you are right that he's been in the US for over a decade. He's either from Dagestan or Uzbekistan. He went to AUB in Beirut for undergrad.

I have read a number of times that they are useless without the correct codes and that it is nearly impossible to remove the plutonium or uranium and turn them into a new weapon.

Does anyone know the whole story

While I doubt few really know, I can't imagine that the "fuse" which processes the codes, can be all that hard to work around. At some point the "fuse" has to tell the "package" to go. Now that might be one signal line, it might be multiple ones, but given enough time an electronics engineer or electronics technition should be able to find it, and patch around it. But then what do I know? I do know that I wouldn't want to bet my life, or the lives of countless others on it being impossible.

"Through the universities, there will be the most danger. If the nuclear atomic warheads reach these universities, you don’t know what these students are going to do, because their way of thinking is brainwashed, limited and narrow-minded.”

Like who'd a thunk! Of course they'd go to the socialist indoctrination centers. We've known who the enemy was for years! Left wing waco extremists!
We didn't need him to tell us that!

Good reply! I know we haven't changed our living habits here since Sept 11, and I knew two people who died in the attacks. We do the same things we always did, we go to Houston frequently - we are not afraid to go to big cities. Seems like we are in Houston three times a week lately. If I had some place to fly - I would do that, too.

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!
