| 'Al-Qaeda trying to lay hands on WMD' |
| 2003-01-20 |
| Press Trust of India With Moscow warning of a "real threat" of Weapons of Mass Destruction falling into the hands of Al Qaeda, a leader of the outfit has been quoted as having asked its followers to gain access to such materials which are "the biggest nightmare of America". In a recent article, the Al Qaeda leader, Abu Ubeid al-Qurashi, has said "all studies done on this matter agree on the fact that the attainment by the Mujahidin of WMD is the biggest nightmare that is facing America - meaning that the possibility is truly conceivable". Qurashi is the theorist of "Fourth Generation War"... Stating that "large quantities of material used to make nuclear bombs are lost each year especially from countries that were once part of the Soviet Union", al-Qurashi says "the duty of the Mujahids in this situation is difficult to execute but not impossible, and common sense in this situation as in others is the logic of selling and buying". Al-Qurashi is said to be a scientist himself. The article has been translated and made part of a voluminous document entitled "The al Qaeda Threat: An analytical guide to al Qaeda's Tactics and Targets", written by two US anti-terrorist experts Ben Venzke and Aimee Ibrahim and its excerpts were posted at the website of the Intelligence Centre, Virginia. It's no surprise that Qaeda wants WMDs. There was enough evidence that came out of the cave complexes and safe houses in Afghanistan. I'm actually surprised they haven't had more success... |

| #1 Everytime I hear this mentioned I get the picture in my head of those poor dogs (harmless Labs no less) tha they did the tests on. I recently came upon a statement that under sharia, muslims are not allowed to keep dogs. Can anyone confirm this? If true, I can see why they used dogs, those bastards. (Ok I like dogs but I would say the same thing about any animal). Isn't it Gandhi who said we can say a lot about a country by the way it treats animals. |
