Eric, Re: Your statement that " If Pakistan did not give them the plutonium then they would not have it. There is no way they could make enriched or depleted uranium for an H-bomb as it takes far too much industrial setup with gas centrifuges and hexafluoride gas diffusors in multi stage setups." Here's the problem with your theory. They didn't claim that they built the bombs.. They said that they bought them. "Al-Usuquf says that the bombs were bought on the black market: five from the former USSR and two from Pakistan. The five Russian heads "are from T-3 missiles, also known as RD-107, and their power is around 100 kilotons each, that is five times the Hiroshima bomb. The Pakistani ones are less powerful, something around 10 kilotons each." Each of the Russian bombs would have cost around $200 million. Al-Qaeda was able to raise the money "because we have many sponsors. Many countries sponsor us, and also some very rich people." And not all of these are Arab countries. "Some European countries as well are also interested in the fall of the US." As to the "rich people", they are "people who are also tired of seeing the US bleeding the rest of the world." "
