Al Qaeda seeking nuclear kit for attacks: UK official
By Sophie Walker Mon Nov 13, 2:38 PM ET
LONDON (Reuters) - Al Qaeda is trying to acquire the technology that would enable it to use a nuclear device to attack Western targets including Britain, a senior British official said on Monday.
"We know the aspiration is there. We know attempts to gather materials are there, we know that attempts to gather technology are there," the senior Foreign Office official told reporters.
The comments at a briefing came days after the head of Britain's domestic spy agency said Muslim extremists were plotting at least 30 major terrorist attacks in Britain which could involve chemical and nuclear devices.
The Foreign Office official, asked whether there was any doubt that Al Qaeda wants to gather nuclear material for use against Western targets, said: "No doubt at all."

Nothing to see here folks it's just more Bush fear mongering to win the election, oh wait the elections over and this story is from Britian. Hmm, well I'm sure the Dems are all over it, oh that's right John Kerry thinks terrorism is overblown, future speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi doesn't believe we're at war, future Senate Majority leader Harry Reid wants to kill the Patriot Act, they all want an AQ bill of rights, they all want to end the surveillance program, they all want to cut and run from the enemy especially the future Chairman of the Senate Armed Service Committee Carl Levin, and alot of them want to cut funding for our boys in Iraq especially future Chairman of the House ways and means committee Charles Rangel.
We are so fuc/ked! :doh
