MEMRI TV PRODUCTIONS This still from a video shows a Kuwaiti dissident, Abdullah al-Nafisi, telling a room full of supporters in Bahrain that al Qaeda is deciding how it wants to send terrorists and weapons into the U.S. through Mexico.From The Washington Times:
U.S. counterterrorism officials have authenticated a video by an al Qaeda recruiter threatening to smuggle a biological weapon into the United States via tunnels under the Mexico border, the latest sign of the terrorist group's determination to stage another mass-casualty attack on the U.S. homeland.
The video aired earlier this year as a recruitment tool makes clear that al Qaeda is looking to exploit weaknesses in U.S. border security and also is willing to ally itself with white militia groups or other anti-government entities interested in carrying out an attack inside the United States, according to counterterrorism officials interviewed by The Washington Times.

My Comment: A disturbing piece of news. One will have to wonder if this is all talk and propaganda in a recruiting video, or the recruiter knows about something that is being planned and implemented.
I doubt very much if Al Qaeda has the tools and means to develop an effective bio weapon .... but just "sprinkling" a little anthrax in the middle of New York City or Washington DC .... and having just a few casualties .... this would have an enormous impact via the media and publicity .... which is probably the primary goal for Al Qaeda in the first place.
