dear friends,

i'm passing this on. i'm not sure if there's any truth to this or if it's just
their means to scare people. i think the latter may be the case. one never knows
though...

love and light.

worldnetdaily.comterrorists have placed seven nuclear bombs in as many u.s.
citiesandwill soon detonate them, causing millions of casualties,
massivepanicand destroying the world's biggest economy, warns a top
al-qaidaoperative in an interview with al-jazeera television in qatar.while much
of the world's attention has been riveted onal-jazeera'sbroadcast of an
audiotape apparently made by osama bin laden, thismorespecific threat aired on
the station has received scant mediacoverage.the spectacular threats were made
by a man claiming to be mohammedal-usuquf, reputedly al-qaida's no. 3 operative.
al-usuquf is saidto bea doctor in physics who holds a master's degree in
internationaleconomics. a copy of the interview was sent to the
prestigiousarab-language daily al quds al arabi, edited in london, but it
wasnotprinted.parts of the interview were published by asia times, which
couldconfirmneither the identity of the man nor his membership in
al-qaida.al-usuquf says al-qaida's kuwaiti spokesman, sulaiman abu ghaith,andbin
laden himself, suggested that he grant the interview. binladen, hesays, is
"alive and healthy, along with his commanders mohammedatef,khalid shaik mohammed
and mullah omar."while al-usuquf begins the interview by criticizing washington
foritspositions on the kyoto protocol on climatic change,
theinternationalcriminal court, the palestinian cause and for its
"financialgreed," heconcludes by saying america must be destroyed."aircraft
carriers, nuclear submarines and spy satellites will beworthless in the next
war," he says.al-qaida has 5,000 first-rank operatives and around 20,000
othersallover the world."we have more than 500 first-rank and 800 second-rank
[operatives]inside the u.s.," he says.he explains that "first rank" means they
have lived in the u.s.for morethan 10 years, most of them married with
children."they have an idea about the plans, and they are just waiting
foracall.""second-rank" operatives arrived in the past five years and
"havenoidea about the plans," he says.all are willing to die for the cause, he
says.sept. 11 "was just the beginning," says al-usuquf. "it was a wayto callthe
world's attention to what's going to happen."he details a plan to destroy the
u.s. by "attacking the heart ofwhatthey (americans) consider the most important
thing in the world -money."this economic cataclysm will be prompted, he says, by
"destroyingamerica's seven largest cities and some other measures"
with"atomicbombs."the bombs "won't be launched," he says. "they are already
there.sevennuclear heads have already been positioned on american
soil,beforesept. 11, and they are ready to be detonated. before sept.
11,americansecurity was a fiasco, and even later, if we needed, we
couldpositionthe bombs there. they arrived through seaports as normal cargo.
anuclear head is not bigger than a fridge, so it can easily becamouflaged as
one. thousands of containers arrive at a seaporteveryday, and even with very
efficient security, it's impossible tocheck andexamine each one of
them."al-usuquf says the bombs were bought on the black market - fivefromthe
former ussr and two from pakistan. the five russian heads "arefromt-3 missiles,
also known as rd-107, and their power is around 100kilotons each. that is five
times the hiroshima bomb. thepakistani onesare less powerful, something around
10 kilotons each."each of the russian bombs would have cost around $200
million,claimsal-ususquf. al-qaida was able to raise the money "because we
havemanysponsors. many countries sponsor us, and also some very richpeople."not
all of the sponsoring nations are arab countries, he says."some european
countries as well are interested in the fall of theu.s."as to the "rich people,"
they are "people who are also tired ofseeingthe u.s. bleeding the rest of the
world."iraq's saddam hussein, says al-usuquf, is not one of these
people,"butjust a collaborator, represented by abdul tawab hawaish, his
viceprimeminister and responsible for iraq's arms program."al-usuquf says that
the bombs cannot be detected by u.s.authorities."even if they are old, they were
modernized and are very wellhidden,"he told al-jazeera. "even if they were
located, they haveauto-detonation mechanisms in case something or someone
getsclose. evenan electromagnetic pulse is not capable of deactivating them."the
bombs allegedly cannot be detected because "they are envelopedinthick layers of
lead." they could be detonated "by variousmethods -cellphone call, radio
frequency, seismic shock or by theirregressiveclock."al-usuquf details the whole
plan in the al-jazeera interview."first, one head would be detonated, which
would cause the deathsof800,000 to 1 million people and a chaos never seen
before," hesaid."during this chaos, two or three planes, which are
nowdisassembledinside barns near empty roads in the u.s. countryside, wouldtake
off in suicide missions to pulverize another two or three bigamerican cities
with chemicals. once the disease was identified,allseaports and airports would
be quarantined. land borders wouldalso beclosed. no plane, boat or car would
enter or leave the u.s. thiswouldbe total chaos."the first target would be the
city "that would offer the bestconditions, for example bright sky and winds of
eight or moremiles anhourblowing toward the center of the country, so
radioactive dust cancontaminate the largest possible area."this attack would not
knock out the u.s, recognizes al-usuquf."but the process would be initiated," he
explains. "as with theworldtrade center, it would be just a question of time for
the wholeeconomicstructure to be turned to dust. if the objectives are reached
withonebomb and diseases, probably we will save the lives of otherpeople,
butit's risky, and probably six more bombs will be detonated, one aweek,and more
attacks with chemical weapons will be launched."according to estimates made by
al-usuquf and ayman al-zawahiri,al-qaida's no. 2 man and a physician, about 15
million peoplewould die,victims of the bombs and the radiation. among those
contaminatedbydiseases, "25 percent will die, a figure around more than
5million,plus many others due to the chaos and disorder."but the real cost will
be the american economy, says al-usuquf.the world economy would not collapse,
says al-usuquf, although "inthebeginning, it will be very difficult. but without
the u.s., theworldwill soon rise in a more just and fraternal manner. nothing
canstop theplan."and whatever america does, "it's too late."al-usuquf refused to
give any indication as to when the
attackswouldbegin.----------------------------------------------<><><><><><><><>\

full text of warningwashington (cnn) -- al qaeda may be planning "spectacular
attacks"in the united states that will cause "mass casualties" and
"severedamage" to the economy, according to a federal law
enforcementbulletin.even so, the warnings have not caused the homeland security
threatlevel to be increased from yellow, or elevated risk, and fbiofficials said
there is no new intelligence that led to the strongwording of the bulletin.the
bulletin, issued thursday by the fbi in its weekly lawenforcement alert, stems
from the release of the audiotape that isbelieved to contain osama bin laden's
voice added to earlierintelligence reports.that audiotape, along with previous
intelligence and a "resurgenceof al qaeda operational activity" has spurred law
enforcement toreview the manner in which al qaeda is operating.fbi officials
tell cnn that there is no specific information aboutthe time, place or method of
such attacks and no new intelligencethat sparked the bulletin. fbi officials, in
fact, believe themessage in the bulletin is being overplayed and overstated by
themedia.nevertheless, the language in the document is more ominous than inother
bulletins."in selecting its next targets, sources suggest al qaeda may
favorspectacular attacks that meet several criteria: high symbolicvalue, mass
casualties, severe damage to the u.s. economy, andmaximum psychological trauma,"
the bulletin said. "the highestpriority targets remain within the aviation,
petroleum, andnuclear sectors as well as significant national
landmarks."however, target vulnerability and likelihood of success may be
asimportant to a weakened al qaeda as the target's prominence," saidthe
bulletin.'summary of intelligence'u.s. officials urged vigilance and caution and
said that securityefforts were being made."a lot is being done to bring
additional protective measures,particularly the critical infrastructure
locations around theunited states," said national security adviser condoleezza
riceduring a friday briefing. "there is a very active ... program ofcoordination
on this particular period of time with both publicand private entities and at
the federal, state and local levels.""the warnings that have gone out recently
really are a summary ofintelligence, not a new warning," she said.the report
says that the next attack could rely on conventionalbombs and "low-technology
platforms such as truck bombs,commercial or private aircraft, small watercraft
or explosiveseasily concealed and planted."in addition, it said: "sources also
suggest that small-scaleterrorist operations against softer targets would be
easier forsleeper cells already in the u.s. to carry out and would minimizethe
need to communicate with central leadership, lowering therisks of detection."a
u.s. official characterized the alert as simply an effort toadvise law
enforcement on the current thinking of al qaeda, and inline with public
testimony last month from cia director georgetenet.during october 17th testimony
before the congressional jointintelligence committee, tenet had said "the al
qaeda terroristnetwork has reorganized after being pushed out of afghanistan
and"intends to strike us here and overseas." (full story)the message that helped
spur the bulletin, suspected to be frombin laden, was broadcast tuesday on the
arabic-language al jazeeratv network.in it, the reader "praises the recent
attacks against westerninterests worldwide: firearms attacks against u.s.
marines inkuwait, the fatal shooting of an american diplomat in jordan,
thebombing of a nightclub district in bali, the attempted sinking ofthe french
oil tanker limburg, and the taking of hostages bychechen guerrillas at a moscow
theater. the speaker also threatensfurther attacks against the united states and
its allies shouldthe united states attack iraq."the u.s. government is analyzing
the audiotape "to determine itsauthenticity," but coalition sources have told
cnn the voice isapparently bin laden's and the tape was not fabricated.the
bulletin has been posted on the national infrastructureprotection center web
site. located in the fbi's headquartersbuilding in washington, the nipc "brings
together representativesfrom u.s. government agencies, state and local
governments, andthe private sector in a partnership to protect our
criticalinfrastructures."on november 6, nipc also issued a bulletin noting that
al qaedamay strike during ramadan, the islamic holy month of ramadan thatbegan
last week and continues through december 5."al qaeda and sympathetic jihadists
may view ramadan as havingreligious incentives and symbolic and operational
advantages forconducting terrorist attacks. nonspecific intelligence
reportingalso indicates al qaeda may strike this ramadan," the bulletinsaid.it
notes that the terror network "attempted to execute attacksduring the ramadan
time period in the past." they include the"thwarted millennial plots in december
1999 and the aborted attackagainst the uss sullivans in january 2000."also, the
november 6 bulletin says, plots to attack u.s. ships andthe u.s. embassy in
singapore in late 2001, since disrupted, mighthave been planned for ramadan.cnn
