Bin Laden Claims he has Nuclear Weapons.

dailynews.yahoo.com

I doubt it's an all out lie; as a good bit of nuclear
material ( lower than bomb grade ) is not hard to obtain and can be used to make conventional weapons , including
cheap bombs "dirty" or radioactive.
In this respect him saying he has nuclear weapons could
easily be true.
Heck foreign companies who say they are involved in commercial xraying can order all the Cobalt or Iridium isotopes they want easy enough & both are very radio active. Making a home made dirty bomb can likely be done easier than getting anthrax , while it may not have
the power to mass kill outright ; it does have deadly
long term effects and can force you out of a large area.

These assholes if forced out; could take an attitude
if I cant have it then nobody else can.

PS Ship Cargo Containers can hold dirty bombs
shielded with lead & be twice the size and power
of the Oklahoma City bomb and force an entire
port city to evacuate.
We are wide open to someone sending us bombs
via a cargo containers , the inspections
we now do is next to nothing , and more wouldn't work
anyway unless done at the point of origin.
