A most dangerous plot:
known in Mossad, M16 and the CIA as "America's Hiroshima" .....the intention was to smuggle into the United States nuclear devices.
The bombs would be transported in one of the container ships that arrived at American East Coast ports every week. Few were subjected to full search. Sleeper agents would collect the bombs, packed inside a container, take them to several cities and detonate them, creating even more deaths and casualaties than the September 11 attacks.
The operation had been devised by Osama bin Laden with an exactness that would have the same terrible synchronicity as the September 11 attacks. The intention was not only to terrorize and appall by the sheer number of victims but at the same time provide an example of victory won by violence. Politically it was designed as a rallying call for global jihad, worldwide holy war.
The leaders of the muslim nations who opposed it would be swept away in what bin laden had likened to the creation of the new caliphants of which he had long dreamed. He envisaged how barely a generation after many muslim counties had won their independence, mostly from britain, their world would enter a new religious era. Already the first phase was in place in Iran where the l979 Khomeini revolution had aroused the deprived masses. Next to fall in the aftermath of America's Hirsoshima would be the Saudi royal family, who bin Laden had long accused of betraying their duties as custodians of the holly places of Mecca and Medina.
Details of the plan to detonate nuclear devices in America had emerged with the capture of Khalid
sheikh Mohammed, bin Laden's military operations chief, in an Al Qaeda safe house in Karachi on March 2, 2003. The arrest was made by Pakistani intelligence agents, allowing Preesident Musharraf to offer further proof to
Washington that he remained a staunch supporter of the war against terrorism....though it was less than the full truth.
Khalid sheikh Mohammed had been betrayed for less than a thousand bucks.
The plot called for the detonation of seven tactical nuclear devices in seven cities simultaneously..
the cities were New York, Washington D.C, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and Boston. Each device would be capable of creting an expolosion of ten kilo tons.
