North Korea, Iran and Al-Qaeda in Nuclear Terror Plot?
A new novel presents a frightening scenario involving nuclear terrorism in the United States perpetrated by Al-Qaeda, with covert asistance from Iran and North Korea.
(PRWEB) July 18, 2005 -- It is the ultimate nightmare scenario for
intelligence agencies engaged in the war on terrorism: an alliance, based on
shared enemies, between Iran, North Korea and the Al-Qaeda terrorist movement.
The objective: provide Al-Qaeda with weapons of mass destruction, so it can
launch a devastating nuclear attack on the United States. This frightening
prospect is explored in explicit detail in the novel, "King of Bombs," just
published.
“Though my novel is a fictional account of a future act of
nuclear terrorism, leading experts in the United States have spoken eloquently
of the near certitude that an act of nuclear terror will occur on American soil,
perhaps within the next few years,” said, Sheldon Filger, the 47 year old author
of "King of Bombs." He referred to a recent interview former New Jersey governor
Thomas Kean, who chaired the 9/11 Commission, gave to NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
When asked if he thought it likely that he would witness a terrorist attack by
Al-Qaeda involving the detonation of a nuclear bomb in an American city during
his lifetime, Governor Kean said, “I believe that, and we talked to nobody who
had studied the issue who didn’t think it was a real possibility.” Al-Qaeda and
its leader, Osama bin Laden, are on record regarding their intent to acquire and
use nuclear weapons against the United States (quotes from Al-Qaeda related to
nuclear terrorism can be found on the author’s website, www.kingofbombs.com).
The author, Sheldon Filger,
resided in New York City on September 11, 2001, and his experiences during the
terrorist attack on the World Trade Center inspired him to write "King of
Bombs." Numerous terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda since 9/11 provided further
stimulus for the author to explore, through his novel, the possibility of
nuclear terrorism being initiated by the Islamist terrorist network. The covert
nuclear weapons activity by North Korea, and suspected nuclear weapons program
being undertaken by Iran, were further backdrops for a plot that many experts
have speculated on; countries hostile to the United States providing clandestine
assistance to Al-Qaeda in mounting a mass casualty attack on the U.S. involving
unconventional weapons. Filger’s novel, "King of Bombs," presents a terrifying
scenario, involving the possibilities of a nexus between rogue states, black
market nuclear materials and Al-Qaeda, leaving open the potential for a calamity
of nightmarish proportions. He currently resides in Winnipeg, Canada, and can be
