EVEN MATT DRUDGE IS LINKING TO BUSH NONSENSE ABOUT "DIRTY NUKE" SUSPECT Hi Buddy, What's an Administration to do? It is now becoming a laughingstock across the globe for the silly and hysterical nonsense that Ashcroft spouted from the steps of Stalin's Lubyanka Prison last Monday: news.independent.co.uk British security sources raise doubts over US claims about 'dirty bomber' By Kim Sengupta and Andrew Buncombe in Washington 12 June 2002 Internal links British security sources raise doubts over US claims about 'dirty bomber' Five held in Morocco 'planned to strike warships' Dramatic return of 'war on terror' can only help Bush State by state, police chart Muhajir's descent into world of crime Suspect is being denied rights, say campaigners Leading article: America should be fighting for justice and liberty Robert Fisk: Mr Bush's titanic war on terror will eventually sink beneath the waves British and European security officials are highly sceptical of American claims that the alleged "dirty bomb" plotter, Abdullah al-Muhajir, was preparing to unleash a radioactive attack. British sources point out that despite extensive inquiries, no evidence has been produced to show that he had access to the radioactive material needed to build the bomb, or indeed that he had even worked out a time or place to launch the attack. The most that could be said about Mr Muhajir, a former member of a Chicago street gang now allegedly working for al-Qa'ida, is that he had the "intention" of launching such an attack, security sources said. President Bush announced yesterday that a "full-scale manhunt" was under way across the United States for accomplices of Mr Muhajir. "We will run down every lead, every hint. We're in for a long struggle in this war on terror. And there are people that still want to harm America." Before his arrest at Chicago's O'Hare airport on 8 May, Mr Muhajir – who changed his name from Jose Padilla – stopped in Zurich on the way from Pakistan, where he collected $10,500 (£7,000). Despite claims by the Attorney General, John Ashcroft, that the FBI had disrupted a plan to launch a radioactive attack against Washington, other officials conceded yesterday that there was no evidence that any such plot had progressed beyond the most basic stages. British security sources, who believe Mr Muhajir might have been acting as a courier, said the Americans investigated Mr Muhajir's activities and tried to find a terrorist network he may have been involved with inside the US. The highly publicised announcement of the arrest only came after the failure to find anything more incriminating. In Washington there was a growing suspicion that the arrest was seized on by the Bush administration in dramatic fashion for political ends. British and European security agencies do believe, however, that there is still a real threat of a possible attack.
