#2 Training materials are easy to get. I can find a russian book on nuclear weapons for dummies in our local base library. Getting the actual weapon is the hard part. I think that Al-qaida was doing homework, but we intrerupted them before they could take the test.

#3 I firmly believe that if Al Queda was close to having a nuke they would have held off on Sept 11 until they had one.

I believe if they had one then they would have used it and planned the airplanes as a second wave or something.

It's likely they were sold pinball machine parts or an old disfunctional nuke, maybe even enough crap to put together a dirty bomb, but they don't seem intelligent enough to build one, or to even keep a working one going long enough to transport it to target. Perhaps if they got a Russian military nuke but those are gonna be pretty old by now and they are not getting younger.

I believe this story is a bunch of crap.

#4 There's a 50-50 chance al-Qaida already has nuclear weapons...

but only a 10% chance of that. Now let's get some lunch.

#5 If nukes were as easy to buy or steal as some reports suggest, then Libya, Iraq, Iran would have bought and tested one long ago.
These are nation states with huge financial and human resources and they cannot easily build or buy a bomb. Rag tag Abdul is supposed to have this ability?
