'American Hiroshima'
Maybe if we protected our borders...

The only journalist to interview Usama bin-Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in the wake of Sept. 11, Hamid Mir predicts that an "American Hiroshima" will occur as soon as the U.S. launches an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. "Al-Qaida and Iran," he says, "have a long, secret relationship."

Mir also states that Sharif al-Masri, an Egyptian national with ties to al-Zawahiri who was arrested in Pakistan in November 2000, said that al-Qaida had made arrangements to smuggle nuclear weapons and supplies to Mexico. From Mexico, he said, the weapons were to be transported across the border and into the United States with the help of a Latino street gang.

This is an interesting article. I just hope that Hamid Mir is wrong, but I doubt it.
