This isn’t exactly news but it does seem to confirm a particular level of urgency on Al Qaeda’s part:

Al Qaeda is trying to acquire the technology that would enable it to use a nuclear device to attack Western targets including Britain, a senior British official said on Monday.

“We know the aspiration is there. We know attempts to gather materials are there, we know that attempts to gather technology are there,” the senior Foreign Office official told reporters.

The comments at a briefing came days after the head of Britain’s domestic spy agency said Muslim extremists were plotting at least 30 major terrorist attacks in Britain which could involve chemical and nuclear devices.

The Foreign Office official, asked whether there was any doubt that Al Qaeda wants to gather nuclear material for use against Western targets, said: “No doubt at all.”

Unfortunately, It’s just a matter of time before they succeed.
