For over ten years,
Osama bin Laden has been planning his "American Hiroshima" where he blows up ten
or more American cities with nuclear bombs.
Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama's second in command, has warned of "horrific attacks" against American cities.
To date, the only confirmed case of attempted nuclear terrorism occurred in
Russia on November 23, 1995,
when Chechen separatists put a crude bomb containing 70 pounds of a mixture of
cesium-137 and dynamite in Moscow’s Ismailovsky Park.
The rebels decided not to detonate this “dirty bomb,” but instead informed a
national television station to its location.
Al-Qaeda and other Islamic extremist organizations are among Chechen militants’
major sources of financial support.
Al-Qaeda operatives were alleged to have negotiated with Chechen separatists in
Russia to buy a nuclear warhead,
which the Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev claimed to have acquired from Russian
arsenals.
Shamil Basayev was killed in July of 2006, but rumors persist of a 10-kiloton
nuclear device already being on American soil.
Several of our own Counterterrorism monitors have once again picked up chatter
in al-Qaeda affiliated channels about an “American Hiroshima” for the
inauguration.
Many argue that obtaining warheads or nuclear materials is beyond the
capabilities of the former goat herders.
As can be seen in the following video, obtaining them is extremely easy.
Regardless of any truth being behind rumors for the inauguration,
an "American Hiroshima" scenario will most likely present itself within the next
four years,
