Osama terror plot to nuke UK

[BEER980]

AL-QAIDA terrorists have been plotting to devastate London with a dirty nuclear bomb.

The evil device was to be delivered on a cargo ship and moored at a dock ready to be detonated when the wind was right.

If it had exploded, it would have contaminated a huge area and forced the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of terrified people.

The plot, thwarted by security forces, was revealed by Tory Homeland Security shadow minister Patrick Mercer, a terrorist expert and former senior army officer.

A cargo ship suspected of carrying the bomb - the 26,000-ton MV Nisha - was stormed by the elite Special Boat Squadron in the English Channel two years ago, said Mr Mercer.

But the Indian-owned vessel was carrying sugar. The real Al-Qaida ship bound for Britain was frightened off by the raid.

The bomb would have been unlikely to cause many deaths because the radiation given off would be weak. The plan was to cause panic and paralyse the City.

Mr Mercer said: "Although there would not be mass deaths there would be huge terror."

Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden (below) still has a fleet of rogue ships which could be used as floating bombs.

Last week London Mayor Ken Livingstone revealed FOUR Al-Qaida attempts to target London had been thwarted. The People has learned the dirty bomb was one of those threats.

Others were targeting the Jewish community in north London with ricin, hitting an airliner at Heathrow with a ground-to-air missile and an attack on a soft target like a disco.

That aint nothin compared to some of the warnings coming out today...but it sounds like the warnings from Steve and HomelandSecurityUS are coming from one post on an islamic message board from a week ago.

Yea here is the intel source listed for those that don't visit. US and British intel, plus al-Qaeda deep operational "plants"

Here is what Steve has on the US attack.

COMMENT: Based on current intelligence, it appears that the attack on NYC will be weapons-grade anthrax dispersed to intentionally disrupt the city to a maximum degree. Las Vegas: it is stated specifically that a major cable network will be tipped off to cover this explosion. Casualties are expected to be enormous forcing people to flee from the attacked cities. D.C. is continually singled out as a recipient of a suitcase nuke (fission weapon), not a radiological nuke (dirty bomb). Another American city is being targeted though not specifically named. Based on previous intel, it appears that Los Angeles is the most likely candidate.

The attack on Britain warning is as follows.

COMMENT: It appears that this attack will be concurrent with attacks on the U.S. Other countries slated for attack in major cities are Japan, China and Russia. Terrorists are referring to "survival of the fittest". These events will bring about retaliation on specific Muslim nations leading to WW3.

Why dont they just wipe us and everybody else (Including American, British, Latin, etc.) off the face of the earth if that makes them happy.
