Think about it......
This is the future of terrorism.....it's my opinion, but despite how many ways we or any government agency wishes to 'deny' this plausiability, the reality or this real world, is that it is not a matter of 'if', its a matter of 'when'........
Its that 'when' that stops many from accepting that this could quite realistically happens......the numbers are against 'us', not them......think about it.

Interesting, B-T. And the casualties would not be high at all, compared to the repercussions.
A tactical nuke (An unaccounted for Russian suitcase, for example) is detonated in a city in Iraq by Hussein supporters or any one of the terrorist organizations in the region, who immediately start screaming that the U.S. detonated it to supress uprising. The Western world is not likely to believe it, but the Eastern world is. How many conveerts to Jihad would that create?
The physical damage would not be great at all, as those type of weapons are not that powerful, but the political damage could be enormous.
What think ye, Bout Time?
