Al-Qaeda thought to be developing 'dirty' bomb
The British government has confimred reports by the BBC that British
officials have presented evidence which they claim shows that al-Qaeda has
been trying to assemble radioactive material to build a so-called dirty
bomb. The BBC said officials now believed al-Qaeda had the expertise and
possibly the materials for a crude radioactive bomb, but probably not a
full blown nuclear device. The BBC added it had been shown secret
intelligence apparently supporting the claim from British agents who had
inflitrated al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan while posing as
recruits. The agents revealed that al-Qaeda's weapons programme was
further developed than previously thought.
