Report: Al-Qaida has obtained tactical nuclear explosives...
Well this is rather disconcerting! One of my friends just sent me this link. I just hope it's not true...

And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

There's kind of no point worrying about stuff like that. (I don't blame you for being worried, I'm just trying to cheer you up.)
We might as well go on living our lives, the government will most likely deal with it, or perhaps they don't have the nukes. If they do have them, the biggest blow you can deal terrorists is to not be afraid.

Even if the message's facts are true, I won't personally worry about it for two reasons...
The governments of the world have untold resources available to them, and the fact that theyr'e releasing this information now means that it has likely already been dealt with. Second, even if it isn't dealt with, as an individual there isn't a whole heck of alot I can do about it, and worrying about it will only serve to further the terrorist cause, make my own life more unfomfortable, and add even more stress into my daily routine, whuch as i can imagine for most, doesn't need the added levels of stress.

Why havent I heard anything about this in ANY news medium yet? I tried searching the web and got nothing. Seems to me it would be a pretty massive story. And why is it that they spell the word Al Qaida? And not Al Qaeda
Edit: Woops one just appeared in the Seattle Times just now. Any others yet?

Arabic writing doesn't have vowels, so when it's transliterated people use different spelling based on their own choice of letters to represent them.
