for 'American Hiroshima'

Al-Qaida's prime targets for launching nuclear terrorist attacks are the
nine U.S. cities with the higshest Jewish populations, according to captured
leaders and documents.
As first revealed last week in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, the premium,
online intelligence newsletter published by the founder of WND, Osama bin
Laden is planning what he calls an "American Hiroshima," the ultimate
terrorist attack on U.S. cities, using nuclear weapons already smuggled into
the country across the Mexican border along with thousands of sleeper
agents.
The series of attacks is designed to kill 4 million, destroy the economy and
fundamentally alter the course of history.
At least two fully assembled and operational nuclear weapons are believed to
be hidden in the United States already, according to G2 Bulletin
intelligence sources and an upcoming book, "The al-Qaida Connection:
International Terrorism, Organized Crime and the Coming Apocalypse," by
former FBI consultant Paul L. Williams.
The cities chosen as optimal targets are New York, Miami, Los Angeles,
Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston and Washington, D.C.
New York and Washington top the preferred target list for al-Qaida
leadership.
Bin Laden's goal, according to G2 Bulletin sources, is to launch one initial
attack, followed by a second on another city to simulate the U.S. bombing of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The optimal dates for the attacks are Aug. 6, the
anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, Sept. 11 and May 14, the anniversary
of the re-creation of the state of Israel in 1948. No specific year has been
suggested, however, this Aug. 6 represents the 60th anniversary of the
Hiroshima attack.
The captured terrorists and documents also suggest smaller attacks may take
place on American soil before the nuclear incidents. They may include some
involving automatic weapons at schools and shopping malls, but will not
include any airplane hijackings. Why? Because bin Laden does not want any
failed efforts to overshadow "the success of Sept. 11." There will also not
be any attacks on U.S. nuclear power plants. The rationale? The nuclear
power plants can act as force multipliers when the weapons of mass
destruction are detonated.
Another requirement dictated from the top at al-Qaida is that the attacks
take place in daylight, so that the whole world will be able to see the
images of a mushroom cloud over an American city.
One of the sources for the information is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the chief
planner of the Sept. 11 attacks, who is now in U.S. custody.
As previously reported by G2 Bulletin, al-Qaida has obtained at least 40
nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union – including suitcase nukes,
nuclear mines, artillery shells and even some missile warheads. In addition,
documents captured in Afghanistan show al-Qaida had plans to assemble its
own nuclear weapons with fissile material it purchased on the black market.
U.S. military sources also say there is evidence to suggest al-Qaida is
paying former Russian special forces "Spetznaz" troops to assist the
terrorist group in locating nuclear weapons planted in the U.S. during the
Cold War. Osama bin Laden's group is also paying nuclear scientists from
Russia and Pakistan to maintain its existing nuclear arsenal and assemble
additional weapons with the materials it has invested hundreds of millions
in procuring over a period of 10 years. Al-Qaida sources indicate they would
prefer to use Russian-made weapons for symbolic reasons.
The plans for the devastating nuclear attack on the U.S. have been under
development for more than a decade. It is designed as a final deadly blow to
the U.S., which is seen by al-Qaida and its allies as "the Great Satan."
At least half the nuclear weapons in the al-Qaida arsenal were obtained for
cash from the Chechen terrorist allies.
But the most disturbing news is that high level U.S. officials now believe
at least some of those weapons have been smuggled into the U.S. for use in
the near future in major cities as part of this "American Hiroshima" plan.
According to Williams, former CIA Director George Tenet informed President
Bush one month after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that at least two suitcase
nukes had reached al-Qaida operatives in the U.S.
"Each suitcase weighed between 50 and 80 kilograms (approximately 110 to 176
pounds) and contained enough fissionable plutonium and uranium to produce an
explosive yield in excess of two kilotons," wrote Williams. "One suitcase
bore the serial number 9999 and the Russian manufacturing date of 1988. The
design of the weapons, Tenet told the president, is simple. The plutonium
and uranium are kept in separate compartments that are linked to a
triggering mechanism that can be activated by a clock or a call from the
cell phone."
According to the author, the news sent Bush "through the roof," prompting
him to order his national security team to give nuclear terrorism priority
over every other threat to America.
However, it is worth noting that Bush failed to translate this policy into
securing the U.S.-Mexico border through which the nuclear weapons and
al-Qaida operatives are believed to have passed with the help of the MS-13
smugglers. He did, however, order the building of underground bunkers away
from major metropolitan areas for use by federal government managers
following an attack.
Bin Laden, according to Williams, has nearly unlimited funds to spend on his
nuclear terrorism plan because he has remained in control of the
Afghanistan-produced heroin industry. Poppy production has greatly increased
even while U.S. troops are occupying the country, he writes. Al-Qaida has
developed close relations with the Albanian Mafia, which assists in the
smuggling and sale of heroin throughout Europe and the U.S.
Some of that money is used to pay off the notorious MS-13 street gang
between $30,000 and $50,000 for each sleeper agent smuggled into the U.S.
from Mexico. The sleepers are also provided with phony identification, most
often bogus matricula consular ID cards indistinguishable from Mexico's
official ID, now accepted in the U.S. to open bank accounts and obtain
driver's licenses.
According to Williams' sources, thousands of al-Qaida sleeper agents have
now been forward deployed into the U.S. to carry out their individual roles
in the coming "American Hiroshima" plan.
