"No big trick to that, what with the thousands of uninspected maritime cargo containers delivered to our seaports each month."

It depends. There is always the one in a million chance that customs will stop and inspect the freighter carrying the nuke, just as they did that other freighter off the coast of NYC several months back. For all we know, this strategy may already have been tried and the feds intercepted and disarmed a nuclear warhead intended to destroy New York City.

Since al-Qaeda is at this point dependant upon their state sponsors to manufacture such weapons for them. The general public has, in all honesty, nothing more than a crude idea of the group's capabilities at this point depending on what countries we know sponsors them (Iran, Iraq, Sudan, ect.) is willing to loan them.
