We will have to get out, before any action is taken on Iran. From one of Brian's posts the other day: Tue 14 Nov 2006 thescotsman.scotsman.com Al-Qaeda 'planning for nuclear attack' Al-QAEDA is determined to acquire the technology to carry out a nuclear attack on the West, a senior Foreign Office official warned yesterday. She said that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network was trawling the world for the materials and know-how to mount an attack using nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. The latest warning echoes the remarks last week of the MI5 director-general, Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, that future terror attacks in Britain could involve weapons of mass destruction. Asked if she had any doubt that al-Qaeda wanted to obtain the materials to carry out a nuclear attack on the West, the Foreign Office official told reporters at Westminster: "No doubt at all". She said that terrorists were seeking the means to mount a range of attacks using chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear devices. "We know that the aspiration is there, we know attempts to gather materials are there, we know that attempts to gather technologies are there," she said. The latest warning comes as the government is preparing to make security a key theme of its legislative programme for the next parliamentary session, to be set out in the Queen's Speech tomorrow.
