Source? I highly doubt he has even one. He is a multi-millionaire and that is simply not enough money to buy cash now. Iraqi Bomb maker (a book) says that iraq doesn't even have nukes, although it is close. A single guy, albeit a fairly wealthy one, has no chance of getting a nuke yet.

I don't know about bin Laden and Nukes but I know nukes can be had for about ~US-$ 20 Million!!!
I know this from a very credible international magazine (and that was a few years ago!)

skoorb, i believe saddam had nukes since the end of the eighties, i believe i once saw a satellite picture which clearly showed proof of an underground nuclear test of a small nuke.

Well I haven't read the book but the Iraqi Bombmaker written by a defected scientist said that although Iraq was close they didn't have one...that was written recently.

Chemical and Biological weapons are the choice of people like Bin Laden. The effects are every bit as devastating as a nuclear weapon and you don't need a plane to deploy them. Biomagnification
does it all for you.

There are definitely ways he could them. I'd imagine Russia and the United States have lost at least some nukes. Some of them might have reached the black market. He's worth $300-400 million. If he could find a nuke for sale he could buy it.

<< Russia and the United States have lost at least some nukes >>

I think that the US and Soviet Union have supposedly lost numerous submarines.
