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

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.

Originally posted by richard-afNot 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.

Originally posted by wendigo100If I recall correctly, a suicide bomber just needs enough fissile material to make critical mass. He doesn't need all the mechanics, action codes and stuff.
He only needs to bang together two semi-spheres, using his hands, to set it off, and that's about ten KG of weapons-grade plutonium.
So the answer is that he cuts the fissile material out of the warhead. Being a suicide bomber, he's not arsed about being irradiated.

I'm surprised the possibility doesn't enter into the heads of Londinium-dwellers more often. It's entirely feasible, so it then comes down to probabilities.
Where would the primary targets for such an attach be? New York / London of course.
Wonder what it would do for house prices :-) ?
