Coinciding with a new Government Accountability Office  (GAO) audit  report on border and port radiological detectors that concluded the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) development and testing of advanced spectroscopic portals (ASP), a senior Al Qaeda leader declared the terrorist group would use Pakistani nuclear weapons against the US if it ever got its hands on these weapons.

“By God’s will, the Americans will not seize the Muslims’ nuclear weapons and we pray that the Muslims will have these weapons and they will be used against the Americans,” Mustafa Abul Yazeed, Al Qaeda’s leader in Afghanistan, said in an interview with Al Jazeera broadcast Sunday.

Al Qaeda continues to plan “large-scale operations against the enemy” Abul Yazeed said.
