Are we headed toward a Nuclear 9/11?

Yes?

NO?

Can 9/11 happen again?

Why? Acquiring weapons for the defense of Muslims is a religious duty. If I have indeed acquired these weapons, then I thank God for enabling me to do so. And if I seek to acquire these weapons, I am carrying out a duty. It would be a sin for Muslims not to try to possess the weapons that would prevent the infidels from inflicting harm on Muslims. —Osama bin Laden http://www.nti.org/h_learnmore/nuctutorial/chapter04_01.html

Al Qaeda’s Goal Abu Gheith a spokesman for Bin Laden and Al Qaeda claims they need to kill 4 million people (including children) to even things out.

Do we control the nukes? The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed 650 cases of illegal trafficking of nuclear materials worldwide between 1993 and 2004. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/actionnetwork/A9658740

Russia

Iran

North Korea

Canada?

How do we study Nuclear Terrorism? In this tutorial, we will focus on the threat of nuclear terrorism by investigating four key questions: What are nuclear weapons? How could terrorists acquire or build nuclear weapons? Why would terrorists use nuclear weapons? How should the world respond to the threat of nuclear terrorism? http://www.nti.org/h_learnmore/nuctutorial/index.html
