Report: Al-Qaeda Has Black Market Nuclear Bombs
(Sydney Morning Herald) Pakistani journalist Hamad Mir, bin Laden's biographer, said bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, claimed al-Qaeda has bought ready-made nuclear bombs on the black market. "Dr. Ayman al-Zawahri said 'Mr Mir., if you have $30 million, go to the black market in central Asia, contact any disgruntled Soviet scientist, and a lot of...smart briefcase bombs are available,'" Mir said. "They have contacted us, we sent our people to Moscow, to Tashkent, to other central Asian states, and they negotiated, and we purchased some suitcase bombs."
