If terrorist are unable to get that suitcase-sized nuclear bomb

Experts Worry About Radiological Bomb,
Crude But Deadly Device is Most Feared Nuke

By JIM KRANE

NEW YORK (Nov. 10) - Among terrorist weapons...

... analysts worry that a crude but deadly device might be fashioned
from stolen nuclear material and a few sticks of dynamite.

Such a radiological bomb wouldn't yield a nuclear explosion
but rather a plume of toxic radiation.

''Had the terrorists at the World Trade Center
used a radiological dispersal device,
most parts of lower Manhattan [rendered uninhabitable]'' said...

Such a bomb requires neither knowledge of physics
nor the rigors of smuggling weapons-grade uranium or plutonium.

''It's not that hard to build a radiological bomb
since all you have to do is disperse a bunch of radioactive material,''
said... a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Highly radioactive material is stored at over...

The nuclear terrorism threat, however remote,
remains serious enough for President Bush
to describe it in a speech...

The radiological bomb is a much simpler matter.

Depending on its potency, a contamination-spewing radiological bomb
could kill dozens, hundreds, possibly thousands. Its toxic plume
could render a square mile or more uninhabitable for a decade or longer.
It would cause a huge cleanup and demoralize a city, perhaps a nation....

''To a terrorist who is trying to create widespread panic,
this option is more appealing,'' Rauf said...In the public mind,
a radiological device is more terrorizing.''
