Just watched Ashcroft tip-toe around this one. It is VERY suspicious to me. FWIW anthrax is not easy to pass form one person to another, not like plague bacillus, smallpox or influenza. In my view this has the signature of terrorism written all over it, but then I do not work in CDC and don't have access to their info. A third case will cinch it for me. Atta did train nearby as I understand. I just keep wondering what it will take for us to get really nasty. So far I think the US and Britain have been really nice. Iraq is still there, no open threats to other nations harboring terrorists,and...no threat implied or implicit to the integrity of the cities of Mecca and Medina. Jim Black PS Sorry, but I don't buy it...Islam so peace-loving...why the f*** haven't there been outcries offers of aid, bodies of terrorists from their own soil from "allies" Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and if they want to be spared unholy fire, from Syria Sudan, Lybia, Algeria??? Now why is that?? Jim Black

Bin Laden has several Nuclear Suitcases, from 25 Oct, 1999> I was reminded of this from someone on the rat thread. I should also point out we have been in & out of stocks like INVN, VISG, MAGS, and the rest for more than a year. Subject 31957 Reproduced from the Jerusalem Report: Master terrorist Ossame Bin Laden has acquired portable nuclear devices, a U.S.-based expert on non-conventional terror believes. The only real question now is whether BinLaden has "a few," as Russian intelligence seems to think, or "over 20," a figure cited by intelligence services of moderate Arab regimes. "There is no longer much doubt that Bin Laden has finally succeeded in his quest for nuclear ‘suitcase bombs," says Yossef Bodansky, head of the Congressional Task Force on Non-Conventional Terrorism in Washington. In a recent book, Bodansky reports that Bin Laden’s associates acquired the devices through Chechnya, paying the Chechens $30 million in cash and two tons of Afghan heroin, worth about $70 million in Afghanistan and about 10 times that on the street in Western cities. Bodansky’s statements corroborate 1998 testimony by former Russian security chief Alexander Lebed to the U.S. House of Representatives. Lebed said that 43 nuclear suitcases from the former Soviet arsenal, developed for the KGB in the 1970s, have vanished since the collapse of the former Soviet Union a decade ago. Lebed said one person could detonate such a bomb by himself, and kill 100,000 people. Among the others who recognize the threat is Ben Venzke, director of Tempest Publishing. The U.S. firm plans to release a detailed technical handbook on dealing with nuclear terror next year. The danger, says Venzke, is quite real ? and is not confined to stolen Russian weapons. "It is really quite simple," he says, "to acquire radioactive material and combine it with an explosive or so-called dirty device." cdn-friends-icej.ca Makes one wonder, what if? And if the "if" turns out to be even 1/2 right, what then? These things have a 1 1/2 to 2 mile radius. One "event" like this would make the WTC look like a walk in the park. Very scary, and I haven't seen anything about this in the press, but it was a semi-big deal back in '99..
