Some pretty good info on them suitcase bombs, I thought the triggers lasted 7 years not 1 or 2. This makes it very interesting indeed, if true then he
cant use them because the half life of the trigger is not "capable".

Osama wants nukes: Cdn intel
By JIM BRONSKILL
OTTAWA (CP) - Canadian spies have been pondering one of the more chilling questions of the post-9/11 era: Does Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida have
briefcase-sized nuclear weapons?
A newly obtained intelligence report examines the intriguing notion and concludes that whatever the answer, the terrorist network is intent on
acquiring nuclear means. The assessment revives concerns that emerged as early as 1992 when Stanislav Lunev, a former Russian military intelligence
officer, claimed his country's intelligence services had lost many of the portable, backpack-style devices, which weigh about 55 kilograms.

weapons.
The Canadian Press reports this week that a newly published intelligence report is not sure if bin Laden has obtained such weapons. But the Islamic
terror group is clearly trying to do so.
