Jihadists urged to use biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to attack the West

New call to use WMD on USAThe FBI issued a bulletin to 18,000 law enforcement agencies recently warning that al-Qaeda has made new threats to use weapons of mass destruction against U.S. targets. ABC News also reported that intelligence sources have confirmed that al-Qaeda plans to release a new video on the web sometime tomorrow. U.S. intelligence believes the terror group will advise its “jihadists to use biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to attack the West.”

An FBI spokesman confirmed the threat “calling for the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against civilians.” The U.S. has no “intelligence of any specific plot or indication of a threat to the U.S.,” the Bureau spokesman said. Still, the FBI has taken the precautionary step of alerting other agencies of the potential threat. It is widely believed that Syria has been hiding Saddam’s WMDs in the Bekaa Valley since 2003 and those weapons can be and perhaps already have been made available to the terrorists.
