FOX NEWS REPORTS BIN LADEN ACQUIRES NUCLEAR WEAPONS

For those following the terrorism doomsday angle of the Y2K threat, this news is yet more evidence that January 1, 2000 could be
dangerous for a variety of reasons that go way beyond just the Millennium Bug.

Although this report (link below) offers some skepticism about the legitimacy of Bin Laden's claim, few people doubt the realistic
possibility of this scenario occurring. Given the terrible economic state of Russia and the fact that many Russian soldiers are being
fed dog food, it would be exceptionally easy to bribe security officials in Russia to turn over nuclear material. Imagine if you're a
starving Russian soldier, and if you just tell these nice people your password, they'll deposit $250,000 in U.S. dollars to your bank
account. Besides, they've promised you it's only for research purposes.

This comes on the heels of news last year that Russia was missing 84 briefcase-sized tactical nuclear weapons. This lack of
inventory management is especially disturbing.

The story mentions one skeptic:

"The London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies expressed scepticism, saying that it would be impossible to deliver
such a weapon to a target without missiles, launchers and sites..."

However, it appears the London-based IISS has forgotten one crude, simple method for nuclear bomb delivery: strap it on your back
and walk right in. In fact, Y2KSUPPLY.COM has seen supposedly-intelligent government agencies repeatedly overlook this simple
"solution" for terrorists. You don't need a million-dollar missile to deliver nuclear weapons. Essentially, all you need is one volunteer
and a 1972 Volkswagon van. You drive it, hike it, or fly it in on a $5000 airplane. This is not rocket science, literally!

POTENTIAL Y2K IMPACT For obvious reasons, any act of terrorism on U.S. soil -- whether it be bio weapons or nuclear -- would set
off an instant panic in the supply chain. People would suddenly "get it" and there would be runs on food, gas masks, currency, and
all survival supplies.

Additionally, any such terrorism attack would fit right into the "end of the world" scenarios now being preached by some religious
leaders, further adding to the 2000 panic.

This is all on top of the millennium bug threat and the GPS failure that will occur on August 22, 1999.

It seems that any single event could really set off the panic. For the sake of American lives, lets hope the CIA and the Dept of
Defense can keep these terrorists at bay.

Unfortunately, we all know how futile that hope may be. They couldn't stop terrorists from setting off the bomb in the World Trade
Center, and they can't even keep small airplanes from breaking through the air security perimeter around the White House.
Furthermore, the Dept. of Defense is one of the government agencies receiving an "F" for its Y2K compliance status. Their internal
communication systems will likely go off-line on January 1, 2000, providing a rare "our guard is down" opportunity for a terrorist to
strike.

If you connect the dots here -- the acquiring of nuclear weapons by terrorists, the non Y2K-compliance of the DOD, the doomsday
predictions by various groups -- you start to get a picture of exactly what might happen as we approach Y2K.
