Al Qaeda plans nuke attack against UK

Guardian:

British intelligence officials believe that al-Qaida is determined to attack the UK with a nuclear weapon, it emerged yesterday. The announcement, from an officially organised Foreign Office counter-terrorism briefing for the media, was the latest in a series of bleak assessments by senior officials and ministers about the terrorist threat facing Britain.

UK officials have detected "an awful lot of chatter" on jihadi websites expressing the desire to acquire chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons.

Asked whether there was any doubt that al-Qaida was trying to gain the technology to attack the west, including the UK, with a nuclear weapon, a senior Foreign Office counter-terrorism official said: "No doubt at all."

The official explained: "We know the aspiration is there, we know the attempt to get material is there, we know the attempt to get technology is there."

...

For al-Qaida and jihadis, a devastating nuclear attack on Britain, not just the use of a "dirty bomb', would be part of the desire and agenda to cripple the west, sources said.

The senior Foreign Office official said: "There are people for whom it would be a triumph for the cause."

...

British counter terrorism officials believe plots they have thwarted and plots they claim are being hatched have strong links to Pakistan. They say hundreds of Britons travelled in the past year to Pakistan for terrorism activity, including training in camps and acting as couriers for messages. Officials also believe Britons are taking cash to terrorists in Pakistan.

Those would be British traitors taking cash to terrorist in Pakistan. The reason that the terrorist want this bomb is that liberals in Europe and the US have signaled that they want to retreat from the war and they view such an attack as what as necessary to turn the retreat into a rout. Make no mistake, these people have no inhibitions against using any weapon to achieve their purpose which is the subjugation of the world to their weird vision of Islam. The useful idiots of the left in the Democrat party in the US and the Euro weenies are their best hope of achieving that objective.
