Dont you just get sick of this!

Al Qaeda has issued a video calling on terrorists to use biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to attack the West.



The 39-minute documentary-style video, which is entitled Nuclear Jihad: The Ultimate Terror, was posted on the militant al Ekhlaas forum.

The narration says: "The idea of killing lots of people, this idea is available to us.

"It must be used under the idea of treating others the same, so I say that terror in their countries must involve human losses and these human losses must be with WMD."

Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda - responsible for the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington that killed around 3,000 people - are known to be eager to get access to weapons of mass destruction.

A US intelligence official said there was no sign that the terror group has acquired the capability to use so-called WMD.

The official said: "At this point there isn't evidence they've obtained it. But it's clearly their intent and it's something we need to be aware of and concerned about."

FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said an alert had been sent out to US law enforcement agencies about the video.

He said: "We got information the tape is coming. We sent out an alert to law enforcement to let them know the tape was coming."

Mr Kolko said the alert was a routine precaution sent to 1,800 US law enforcement agencies.

According to an ABC News report, the FBI bulletin said there was no evidence of any direct threat.

Mr Kolko said the information about the al Qaeda call to jihadists was gleaned from organisations that monitor Islamic militant websites.
