'Bin Laden has several nuclear suitcases'

Yael Haran
JERUSALEM REPORT , p 8
October 25, 1999

Master terrorist Osama Bin Laden has acquired portable nuclear devices, a
U.S.-based expert on non-conventional terror believes. The only real
question now is whether Bin Laden has "a few," as Russian intelligence
seems to think, or "over 20," a figure cited by intelligence services of
moderate Arab regimes.
     "There is no longer much doubt that Bin Laden has finally succeeded in
his quest for nuclear 'suitcase bombs,'" says Yossef Bodansky, head of the
Congressional Task Force on Non-Conventional Terrorism in Washington. In a
recent book, Bodansky reports that Bin Laden's associates acquired the
devices through Chechnya, paying the Chechens $30 million in cash and two
tons of Afghan heroin, worth about $70 million in Afghanistan and about 10
times that on the street in Western cities.

Bodansky's statements corroborate 1998 testimony by former Russian security
chief Alexander Lebed to the U.S. House of Representatives. Lebed said that
43 nuclear suitcases from the former Soviet arsenal, developed for the KGB
in the 1970s, have vanished since the collapse of the former Soviet Union a
decade ago. Lebed said one person could detonate such a bomb by himself,
and kill 100,000 people.
     Among the others who recognize the threat is Ben Venzke, director of
Tempest Publishing. The U.S. firm plans to release a detailed technical
handbook on dealing with nuclear terror next year. The danger, says Venzke,
is quite real - and is not confined to stolen Russian weapons. "It is
really quite simple," he says, "to acquire radioactive material and combine
it with an explosive or so-called dirty device."
