Report: Al-Qaeda Still Aims to Use WMD Against U.S.
(Washington Post) Joby Warrick - A new report by former senior CIA official Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, who led the agency's hunt for weapons of mass destruction (WMD), warns that al-Qaeda has not abandoned its goal of attacking the U.S. with a chemical, biological or even nuclear weapon. He draws on his knowledge of classified case files to argue that al-Qaeda has been far more sophisticated in its pursuit of WMD than is commonly believed, pursuing parallel paths to acquiring weapons and forging alliances with groups that can offer resources and expertise.
