JERUSALEM (Talon News) – An al Qaeda attack on the United States, using weapons of mass destruction, is “all but inevitable,” according to a counter-terrorism expert.
“All of the warnings we have today indicate that a major strike – something more horrible than anything we’ve seen before – is all but inevitable,” said Yossef Bodansky, former director of the U.S. Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, in an interview Sunday with the Jerusalem Post. The story was reported Monday by World Net Daily.
Bodansky is the author of “Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America” and “The Secret History of the Iraq War.” He was in Israel for the second annual Jerusalem Summit, what the Post described as “an international gathering of conservative thinkers.”
Bodansky said that the number of Muslim extremists trained and ready to die in a jihad had grown to an astonishing 500,000 to 750,000. He also said he believes that because of the reelection of President George W. Bush, bin Laden is determined to launch another attack on the U.S., and that “they got the kosher stamp from the Islamic world to use nuclear weapons.”
“Just as the West was challenging the quintessence of Islam by means of the globalization era, there was a parallel need by Islamic extremists to strike at – and hurt – the core of American society, this time with weapons of mass destruction,” Bodansky said.
