Hello Joseph. Here's a bit of bin lidin trivia...... bin lidin is the father-in-law of supreme taliban leader the one-eyed mullah leader mohammed omar. bin lidin gave one of his daughters to this supreme scum. Lower case letters and spelling erros are intentional :-) So looks like the supreme scum is being asked to hand over his father-in-law.

Airliner crashing into a nuclear plant: Evidently you did not read my post careful, or did not look at the cross section of a typical reactor containment building at the link: nei.org The aircraft would first have to penetrate a 45" thick reinforced concrete cylindrical structure with a spherical roof. Even if part of the aircraft broke through this barrier, most of its momentum would have been lost by the time it hit the second obstacle, a 36" concrete shield. Only by penetrating these two shields could the 8" steel shell of the reactor vessel be reached. As to the heat from the fire causing the WTC towers to collapse, you are correct. However, nuclear plants are not at all like a skyscraper and the same failure mode would not operate. Please do not get me wrong. I am not defending nuclear plants as a good choice for generating electricity. On a long term cost basis I do not think they are. I also agree with you that security should be beefed up.
