Binny seeks nuke on Russian black market
 Al Qaida has embarked on a strategy to procure a nuclear weapon -- preferably from a former East Bloc state. A leading CIA veteran said Osama Bin Laden has sought a nuclear weapon on the Russian black market. The veteran said Bin Laden's goal was to detonate the nuclear weapon in the United States. "He always said it was a religious obligation for Muslims to have the same weapons as their enemies," said Michael Scheuer, former director of the CIA team that has been searching for Bin Laden. "He has clearly said that he would use it. He doesn't intend it as a deterrent. It is going to be a first strike weapon."Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-11-22 |
