A nuclear storage bunker is an extremely hard target, and the guards have authority to use deadly force under any and all circumstances.

No kidding. These guys must have thought they were kept in portable sheds, just inside the chain link fence.

Yep...
He'd have done alot of landscaping, removed the perimeter fence and swept the ground clean but he wouldnt have put a dent in that bunker.
Al Qaeda...home of the rocket scientists.

A nuclear storage bunker is an extremely hard target, and the guards have authority to use deadly force under any and all circumstances. I'll second that.
Those tactical nukes are stored in something called a WS3 vault probably located in a hardened aircraft shelter; if they even happen to be there at Kleine Brogel. The Nukes are well protected.
From article: An al-Qa'eda terrorist has confessed that he planned to drive a giant explosive device into a United States air force bunker in Belgium believed to contain nuclear warheads.
And if the B-61s were in a munitions storage igloo, there is no way somebody is going to drive into it. The huge steel blast door is always locked, which has 2 high security locks. Hell he wouldn't make it past security.

When I worked in the S-2 shop in a Pershing Battalion in Germany we were ready for terrorists trying to drive trucks through barricades. It is unlikely they could have done more than kill a few guards at the outer gates. Sad, but I doubt they would ever gotten anywhere near damaging a nuclear weapon.

Boy Howdy! The signs say USE OF DEADY FORCE AUTHORIZED. And that's not spit in the wind either.
