WikiLeaks: al-Qaeda 'is planning a dirty bomb'[^]. How worried should we be? If it was a straight story I'd lend it more credence but it is second hand via WikiLeaks: not sure quite how reliable that would be. Of course, you can't discount that they probably will try something like this: perhaps it's time to stock up on beans and work from home!

It's far easier to build a "dirty bomb" than building a real nuke. The low concentration radioactive material is much easier to obtain and std explosives would work fine in spreading it over a large area. Explode one in a major metro area and it could be almost as effective in creating large areas that would be unusable for years and mass radioactive casualties. Only question is why hasn’t it happened yet? Is it incompetence on the part of terrorist or very competent intelligence agencies?
