No Nuke Attack?

LONDON (AP) — Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff dismissed concerns Friday that al-Qaeda inspired terrorists could launch a nuclear attack against the West, saying the U.S. was more concerned about their use of conventional arms. Chertoff told students and journalists at London's Oxford Union that while some Islamic militants appear interested in acquiring weapons of mass destruction, they don't yet pose a serious threat. Chertoff's remarks followed a recent series of anonymous postings on al-Qaeda-affliated websites, including a 39-minute video, that exhorts militants to pursue nuclear and biological weapons for use against the U.S. Although none of the postings is known to be authentic, taken together they raise questions about whether jihadists have such capabilities and whether they can launch some kind of attack
