Terrorist attack - could this happen?

[richard-af]

I think zeity is comparing it with one of his lizardy doomsday bombs.

I see. Point conceded!

[Churchill]

Yes. Why don't we trick the beardies, and pretend that the capital is now Skelmersdale? No loss even if they did detonate.

I don't think that Eileen Bilton would be too happy!

Give her a ring on Skelmersdale 32123!

[Churchill]

Not quite. Yes, enough of the fissile material in one lump will detonate, but the bang is not anywhere close to what a proper nuke could do with the same material. Something to do with the blast breaking the lump apart before all potential material is used. Clever neutron bombardment with Polonium (Yes! Our new celeb element!) and other, techy stuff is required... thank goodness.

Polonium is so yesterday. These days we have "other" neutron generators...

Russia's hidden hand in "Islamic terrorism" / Czech Republic

Czechoslovak STB secret police and military espionage were both used frequently during Soviet operations, also involving recruitment and training of Middle Eastern Islamic terrorists on Czechoslovak soil.

According to my sources in Czech Republic, such terrorists were frequently trained in a terrorist training camp Zastavka near city of Brno in the province
South Moravia.

Zastavka is situated 12 miles from a huge Czechoslovak military base Vyskov. Naturally both Zastavka and Vyskov were highly guarded during such
operations so nobody from the general population and from the base staff without the need to know clearance wouldn't have any direct knowledge
of what was going on.

I had a meeting with former BIS Czech Intelligence Service Captain Vladimir Hucin during my last year visit to that country so I asked him about an information that Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11 terrorists, was in fact trained in Zastavka terrorist training camp in 1988 by the Czechoslovak communists.

Mr. Hucin replied to me in front of a witness that he had such information while working in the counter-terrorism and extremist subversion section of the BIS police.

Dear, dear Eileen! A lovely lady who, it seems, went onto better things:

The film "Conspiracy Theory", was it based on you?

Apparently her books were a bit racist though.

Huh?

In Europe and America,
There's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats

In the rhetorical speeches of the Communists
Mr. Putin said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do

If the Russian love their children too

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy ?
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology

Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore

Mr. Bush says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is that the Russians love their children too
