CIA Says Al Qaeda Ready to Use WMD -Report

jjgold · Jun 3, 2003

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An internal CIA (news - web sites) report concludes that a likely goal of al Qaeda and related groups is to launch attacks using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons to cause "panic and disruption," The Washington Times reported on Tuesday.

The four-page report obtained by the newspaper said no information proves the group now is planning an attack in the United States, but noted that "such an attack cannot be ruled out," The Washington Times said.

According to the newspaper, the unclassified report identified several deadly toxins and chemicals that al Qaeda could use in attacks, including nerve gases, germ weapons and radiological dispersal devices, also known as "dirty bombs."

A CIA spokesman could not be reached for comment late on Monday.

The Washington Times report said the CIA document was produced by the agency's intelligence directorate.

It said most attacks by al Qaeda and associated extremists probably would be small-scale, using relatively crude delivery means and easily produced or obtained chemicals, toxins or radiological substances.

The newspaper also quoted the CIA document as saying that the group's success in any attack would depend on planners' technical expertise. However, one likely goal of any attempted attack would be "panic and disruption

Al Qaeda...nothing but a bunch of Angry COWARDS!

They remind me of some posters here that FIGHT instead of debate just because they are ANGRY with their lot in life.

I love dumbass statements like this. Of course it "cannot be ruled out." Neither can the possibility of humanity being wiped out by asteroids.

I have a rock that protects me from tiger attacks. Despite overwhelming sentiment on the part of the scientific community that this is poppycock, I have never once been attacked by a tiger while carrying my Magick Rock, and so it's protective capabilities cannot be ruled out as a possibility.

Lander - There you go AGAIN! I didn't write ANYTHING saying it reminds me of posters with OPPOSING VIEWS.

I meant it towards posters that just want to FIGHT to fight just because they are ANGRY with their LOT in life or whatever.

You got this CHIP on your shoulder that causes you to COP an ATTITUDE without comprehending what was posted and HOW it was meant.
It makes you look pretty STUPID when you make a post like the above and take things OUT of CONTEXT just for your own ANGER AGENDA

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...Terrorist seem to have the SAME Blind HATERED

" take things OUT of CONTEXT just for your own ANGER AGENDA

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...Terrorist seem to have the SAME Blind HATERED"
Are you now implying that I'm a terrorist?

"It makes you look pretty STUPID when you make a post like the above"
Perhaps I would be "deemed more intelligent" if I stuck to implying that posters were terrorists.

Inst,
Since you're the local "terrorist expert" - do you think terrorists stereotype & make false assertions?

i would agree with you IB, if you were actually debating and NOT picking fights.

Statements in the neighborhood of: "You're all young and stupid. You have nothing to say until you've actually lived," are confrontational at best, and at worst, reveal an embittered man who yearns for his youth.

IntuitionBET · Jun 4, 2003

When you're ready to be a man and discuss issues let me know, 'cause so far you keep sounding like a little teenage brat lashing out at things you don't understand.

And that's why you must keep labeling me as this or that....now I'm a "terrorist expert" as you say???

Grow-up Lander and get that CHIP off your shoulder and you will be a Better MAN for it. Plese take to HEART what I'm trying to say to as I don't want to FIGHT with you as you keep wanting to FIGHT with me. I have NO ANGER for you as you seem to have towards me.
BY the way I'm BLACK...A BLACK Man...you don't have a problem with that do you? Is that why you keep attacking me in this way?

------------------------------
Radio - You and Lander are the ones down here that want to FIGHT everyone. You always throw "One-Liners" at everyone you don't agree with or understand.

Give me a BREAK dudette.

Remember the old saying..."Sticks and stones may break my bones but WORDS will NEVER HURT me"

It seems you BOTH are so sensitive to words that you get so upset you have to FIGHT. If someone calls you a name you get sooooo mad like a little child and harp on it.

Get over it dudette and discuss the issue and stop acting like a %%&^%&%$^%#%$#%$#$#

radiofreecostarica · Jun 4, 2003

If words never hurt, why respond? Why the anger?

radiofreecostarica · Jun 4, 2003

So now you can defend your viewpoint by playing the race card?

Don't be so hard on yourself IB. The internet gambling ban didn't pass so you'll still have another year or so until you're forced to join the welfare rolls.

IntuitionBET · Jun 4, 2003

Ohhh-kay-Dok-Kay banned4life I'm ready for Welfare as you say...

If you are so NEGATIVE about Online gambling WHY the F**K are you here on this site?

lander · Jun 4, 2003

Inst,
Are you now suggesting that I'm a racist terrorist?

This is getting "better" by the post

Banned4Life · Jun 4, 2003

I'm not negative about on-line gambling. Just amused at someone who shouts at people and calls them terrorists and racists and then calls THEM "angry".

But now that you mention it, I would prefer that sports gambling be legal in the US so we don't have to send our money to a bunch of CRIMINALS in third world SHIT HOLES who could care less about (and would anal-rape in a New York minute) the people sending them that money.

IntuitionBET · Jun 5, 2003

Lander - NOT at all. Stop imagining stuff again.

Banned - I didn't CALL/SHOUT at anyone and say/write they are Racist or terrorist.

You and Lander should get a room together as you both have a PARANOID sense of COMPREHENSION

Lander & RFCsky,

I think you've over reacted on IB on this one. He was not comparing you guys to terrorists.

I know you guys like to see him going out of the roof, but this time he is right.

What I don't like is that he claims to be of a different "color" just to support his point. Nevertheless its a minor glitch in your undue attack and his nervous reaction.

peace

lander · Jun 5, 2003

Dream,

BY the way I'm BLACK...A BLACK Man...you don't have a problem with that do you? Is that why you keep attacking me in this way?

The man obviously thinks that anyone that doesn't agree with him is wrong & has evil intentions. First we were terrorist, now we're racists (even though I thought he was white).

He's completely irrational.

DreamMaker · Jun 5, 2003

IB,

I guess Lander is suggesting you to go watch "Anger Management"

Great movie

Thanks for the support but these guys won't listen...they are angry and like to fight...and will always TURN-IT-AROUND that I'm the angry one that like to fight...never a constructive debate...ever

I'm a FOOL for coming down here trying to communicate with these guys...It's a political SEWER down here
