The use of radiation as a terrorist weapon at one time was an unbelievable thought. The fact is, large quantities of radioactive material throughout the world is unaccounted for.
In addition, many former Soviet Union atomic weapons scientists’ whereabouts are unknown. There are individuals working with terrorist organizations such as Jose Padilla (also known as Abdullah al-Muhajir), the 31-year-old American, is suspected of plotting a dirty bomb attack on the United States. Padilla, a Brooklyn-born man, was seized by FBI agents at O’Hair Airport in Chicago as he returned to the United States from a lengthy stay overseas.
