ASIO warns of 'catastrophic' attack (in Australia) | ABC (Australia)
ASIO warns of 'catastrophic' attack
The chief of Australia's domestic spy agency has predicted there will be a terrorist attack using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.

The director-general of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), Dennis Richardson, voiced his concerns in a speech delivered last week, which has now been released to the media.

Mr Richardson delivered the speech on the day Jakarta's Marriott Hotel was bombed.

He says the bombing is a reminder that there cannot be a declaration of victory in the war against terrorism any time soon.

He says in the United States, there is genuine concern that a catastrophic attack using weapons of mass destruction is only a matter of time, an assessment he says he shares.

Mr Richardson noted Australia remains a target, partly because of its close alliance with the US.

2. Oh, I fully believe a WMD WILL be used...but it won't be by the
"terrorists". We know that those who sponsor the criminals in the WH are invested in the war machine. And we know they made plans just last week to develop "atom bombs" (or small nukes). We also know they are in bed with the Nuclear industry. They WANT to create a scenario that requires the military to continue on this course.

It is hard to comprehend insanity and greed such as this. But then you think......well if people actually bought 9/11 and that pretzel story then they know they can get away with just about ANYTHING.
Not even the media will call them on it.

Throw Bush, his cabal of fascists, and as many Saudi Sheiks as we can grab into jail then convene a Nuremburg style trial.

I'll Goddamn-guaran-fucking-teee you there won't be anymore terrorist threats if that is done.
