Al-Qaida Has Nuclear Weapons Inside U.S.

Unfortunately, this is one of those headlines that make you say "nah, no way man" and shake your head in disbelief. But is it so far fetched? In the wake of the 9/11 commission, the Senate report and the UK's Lord Butler's report detailing intelligence failures in the US and UK, many will probably dismiss such a claim. We do so at our peril.

A new book written by a former FBI consultant claims that al-Qaida not only has obtained nuclear devices, but also likely has them in the U.S. and will detonate them in the near future.

These chilling allegations appear in "Osama's Revenge: The Next 9/11: What the Media and the Government Haven't Told You," by Paul L. Williams (Prometheus Books).
Williams claims that al-Qaida has been planning a spectacular nuclear attack using six or seven suitcase nuclear bombs that would be detonated simulantaneously in U.S. cities.

"They want the most bang for the buck, and that is nuclear," Williams told NewsMax.

"I expect such an attack would come between now and the end of 2005," the author said.

Hype? Who knows. And therein lies the problem.
