Dubious at best. Unless, of course, you are talking about a radiological weapon. Suitcase nukes or other such weapons are an extremely low probability. Again, the window of opportunity to acquire those was 10-20 years ago. If they had one or more for that long, they would have been used.

Building some type of "radiological weapon" is certainly within reach, but obviously doesn't deliver anything approaching a nuclear detonation.

But you totally underestimate the likelihood of bin Laden or some other terrorist organization getting their hands on some type of device.

Again, there is a reason the most informed persons concerning these issues believe it is not only possible, but probable, within the foreseeable future.
