In his newly released book (below), author Paul L. Williams tells us that Al Qaeda is plotting to detonate a nuclear warhead in a major American city, and that the weapon has already been smuggled into the United States. He also says that military and security officials "concede the probability of nuclear terrorism in America, perhaps in the immediate future."
If we accept Williams' assertions as being factual, make no mistake: We are going to be in a world of hurt. This brings several qusetions to mind for fellow Firing Line members, to wit:
1: What effect do you believe such an event will have on the United States, our society, and those of us who would survive such an attack?
2: Do you believe that such an attack is probable, or at least possible?
3: Do you believe that a nuclear weapon has in fact been smuggled into the U.S.?
4: If not, do you believe that smuggling a nuclear weapon into the U.S. is
possible?
5: What preparations for such an event have you made, or what preparations will you be making?
6: Will you buy and read Williams' book? If not, why?
Thanks to all who share their thoughts on this subject - my hope is that we can all learn a little from each other, and maybe be better prepared if this awful day ever comes. God help us if it does.
Al Qaeda Connection:
International Terrorism, Organized Crime, And the Coming Apocalypse
In his acclaimed exposé, "Osama’s Revenge: The Next 9/11", terrorism expert Paul L. Williams revealed the likelihood of nuclear terrorism on American soil. Now in this chilling sequel Williams further explores the shocking dimensions of the international terrorist threat to Americans. Williams reveals persuasive evidence that al Qaeda has now established connections with the Sicilian Mafia, which is helping to finance terrorism through the sale of Number Four heroin, the present drug of choice in Europe and the United States. In addition, through its ties to the Chechen Mafia, the group responsible for the heinous attack on a Russian school, al Qaeda has managed to obtain nuclear weapons from poorly secured and carelessly guarded storehouses in Russia. Perhaps the most disturbing evidence uncovered by Williams is the relation of al Qaeda to an obscure Salvadoran street gang, which calls itself Mara Salvatrucha and has expanded exponentially. In exchange for big money, this violent group of anarchic thugs has smuggled weapons of mass destruction and sleeper agents across the Mexican border onto American soil, or what they refer to as the land of the "Great Satan."
No other book deals with the connection between international, extremist Islamic terrorism and organized crime—a connection that has made possible the establishment of a well-financed branch of al Qaeda in Latin America and the creation of terrorist cells in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States. Williams convincingly demonstrates that by means of this network Bin Laden is now in a position to execute his dream of an American Hiroshima, an apocalyptic act of mass murder within the borders of the United States. Though vigorously working to prevent such an attack, many military experts and security officials concede the probability of nuclear terrorism in America, perhaps in the immediate future.
