I've heard other reports that bin Laden apparently has acquired
approximately twenty suitcase-sized nuclear weapons from former Soviet states such as Chechnya.

Chechnya, incidentally, is not a former Soviet state, but a former (or present, depending on your point of view) province (ethnic republic) of the Russian Federation. It has no nuclear weapons, and no nukes were ever stored there (although the late President Dudayev was fond of hinting that there were). The only "former Soviet states" where some nukes could possibly be found to supply bin Laden would be Russia itself, of course (the central provinces); Belarus, and Kazakhstan.

I really wonder about some of these reports...
