Bin Laden Planning Hiroshima-Type Destruction?

Does Osama bin Laden possess nuclear weapons? Has he smuggled these weapons into the United States? Does he have a plan to detonate these weapons in multiple American cities if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities? Dr. Hugh Cort, president of the American Foundation for Counter-Terrorism Policy and Research, believes the answer to all of these questions is yes.

Cort has assembled a body of evidence which he claims supports the view that bin Laden has a plan for an “American Hiroshima” which will be implemented in the near future. He has sent this material to various U.S. officials, including Robert S. Mueller III, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Cort believes that the government is not doing enough to prevent an attack.

Much of his evidence centers around one Hamid Mir, a Pakistani journalist who has conducted the only interview of bin Laden after 9/11. Bin Laden told Mir that he had acquired 20 suitcase nuclear bombs from the former Soviet Union. Mir told Cort that bin Laden’s men have smuggled these bombs into the United States.

His men supposedly are waiting for bin Laden to give them the signal, then seven to ten American cities will be struck. If true it is little wonder that Iran’s leader confidently predicts that the United States will be bombed back to the Stone Age.

Bin Laden supposedly has fulfilled Islamic law by warning the United States that an attack is coming and offering a truce — convert to Islam and you will not be attacked. Refusal to convert to Islam means that an attack against America is justified. Three weeks prior to 9/11 bin Laden warned that the United States would be attacked in an unprecedented way for its support of Israel.

Already bin Laden has called for all Muslims in the United States to leave. Instead of a mass exodus of Muslims from this country, new mosques are opening every few weeks. Muslim schools also are being established, which suggests that families plan to stay here for the foreseeable future. But Yossef Bodansky, director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism from 1988 to 1998, has testified that bin Laden has obtained nuclear weapons.

He told Congress that “Osama has recruited former Soviet Special Forces (SPETSNAZ) soldiers to teach al-Qaida how to maintain and operate the bombs.”

Mir, by the way, has suggested that most of the nuclear weapons have been smuggled across the border from Mexico. Opponents of illegal immigration long have argued that they want the border monitored and closed for national security purposes.

Proponents of illegal immigration have maintained that opposition to it is “racist.” Clearly, opponents of illegal immigration have the better case; although if Mir is correct, the door may have been open too long.

Ronald Kessler, chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax.com, interviewed Mueller, who said that he is very concerned about bin Laden having nuclear weapons in the United States, so concerned that the FBI has surrounded mosques in 10 American cities with nuclear radiation detectors. Cort quotes Steve Coll, president of New America Foundation, as stating that these detectors cannot sense enriched uranium when it is shielded in lead. If Islamists have such bombs, no doubt they are wrapped in lead.

Cort says that Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff does not have a plan in the event that these bombs are detonated. In such a scenario real deaths will come from radiation. If people know how to avoid radiation prior to an attack, there may be many survivors.

If people can devise a radiation-proof shelter in their own homes to survive a detonation, two days later radiation is one, one-hundredth the strength of the initial blast. If people can spend three days in the shelter and then only make brief trips outside once a day, they can defeat radiation. But what credible source has warned people of the potential threat and how they can meet it?

Is all of this just alarmist talk? Has Cort missed something important which would nullify his answers? I have no idea.

It seems more than reasonable that we proceed as if it is true. If it proves to be a false alarm, what have we lost? But if Cort’s research has merit and we are prepared to handle such a situation, we could minimize its terrible impact.

When I asked some U.S. officials why no one in the government is warning people, I was told “we don’t want to unduly alarm people.” Nonsense.

I have great faith that the American people will do the right thing if properly informed. We did in the mid-1950s when told that the Soviet Union could start a nuclear war. We can do so again, but someone with credibility must tell Americans the truth.

Nuclear bombs here in the states are more than a possibility, but I don't really think it will come from a guy hiding in a cave. I was interested in the tv show, Jericho. Even though it had a good following, and good ratings, they took it off the air. It was about nuclear bombs being set off in 10 major cities across the country and how the people coped. It was an inside job. I think it was too close to home, too much truth, so they yanked it. There are rumors with some in the military, that the Minot incident was ordered by Cheney and prevented by patriots that are now dead. Seven people associated with handling the nukes are dead, tragic 'accidents', and a few top brass ejected.

I would never had dream 911 would happened either.

All I know is that when I go to bed at night, I lock my doors to my house.

Well, open borders concept, is leaving our doors wide open.

What I'm seeing happening to my country today, ten years ago I would thought it was possible.

The only assurance I have is that I'm a child of a King coming to get His children.

Praise God!

Thanks for reading the article, Jan.

I've had this 'gut' feeling for a long time that the U.S. will not escape (in the long run) being nuked. I rue the day when it does happen.

All the more reason to be not only looking up, but to be spending each and every day wisely……using every opportunity to witness in word or deed to others who are lost.

My hubby is one of those. And I do fail in so many ways to do what I should to point him to the cross. I can only have faith that the Holy Spirit will convict and convince enough to bring him to his knees before an almighty God and Father who loves us past human understanding………

Songbird,

My husband didn't know the Lord until he was 33 years old, and we're now 55 years old.

My church prayed..prayed...for my husband.

I would tell my husband everyday what the Lord was doing in my life.

If you want, we can pray...pray...pray for your husband, too.

Think about it, and list him on our prayer list.

Songbird,

My hubby is one of those. And I do fail in so many ways to do what I should to point him to the cross. I can only have faith that the Holy Spirit will convict and convince enough to bring him to his knees before an almighty God and Father who loves us past human understanding………

Like Jeani said; If you will tell us his name, we will fervently pray for him and his salvation. I know this is not under the prayer thread but, We should stop, drop and pray when led to do so!

Father, I come to you asking that you draw this husband to you and reveal yourself to him so that he may come to repentance and salvation. Bless Songbird in this, and grant her this desire of her heart. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen!

I stand in agreement for the salvation of Songbird's husband!

You can protect yourself to a large extent with Iodine pills, which prevent radiation from settling in your thyroid gland & causing cancer.

This is one site you can read, but I encourage you to type into a browser this info; http://www.ki4u.com/

Iodine pills for nuclear radiation

You will find plenty of information on the subject, and you can order a supply. The product has a long shelf life and is not that expensive.

Dehydrated food stored in a safe place will also be needed, because you can believe you will have to fend for yourself. The ground will probably not be able to produce food, and water will be in short supply. All things that need to be researched and planned for.

God bless you all my dear sisters and brother for praying for my hubby! I will go to the prayer list and put his name there.
