WASHINGTON - Groups that monitor Islamic Web sites say al Qaeda will post a new video in the next 24 hours urging jihadists to use biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to attack the West, the FBI said yesterday.
FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said his agency sent out an alert about the expected video to 1,800 US law-enforcement agencies.
The FBI bulletin said neither it nor Homeland Security has any information regarding "any specific plot or indication of a threat to the US," according to an ABC News report,
In Washington, a US intelligence agent said there's no sign that al Qaeda has acquired the capability to use weapons of mass destruction. "At this point, there isn't evidence they've obtained it," the official said.
But, he added, "It's clearly their intent, and it's something we need to be aware of and concerned about."
