<<BTW, a number suitcase nukes were reported missing when the Soviet Union went kaput. Some folks believe they were covertly bought by Iran and/or Iraq and El Qaeda.>>

Mnay were said to have been here for 5-15 years prior to the Soviet fall depending on whose story youm prefer. Why would anyone one buy something they had not seen & couldn't touch or even confirm its existance?

Though a lie is often repeated, does not make it more true:

Bin Laden may have shipped nuclear bomb to US

Osama bin Laden may have already shipped weapons of mass destruction to the US.

Pakistan's Frontier Post says the Al-Qaida network has transported nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons there.

It claims at least two briefcases containing nuclear weapons may have reached US shores.

The report says Pakistani and US investigators have been able to identify that at least one such weapon has been acquired by Al Qaida from Central Asian groups.

The device of Russian origin, can be activated through a timer or cell phone command.

It is an 8kg device that contains around 2kg of fissionable plutonium and uranium.

Besides nuclear devices, a chemical and a biological weapon have also been identified to be in the hands of Al Qaida activists.

They are said to be in possession of at least 70 capsules, also of Russian origin, containing a very lethal biological agent.
