Osama's death : War?

[Nickelob Ultra]

Osama was regarded by most Muslims in the Middle East as a hero.  They will look to him as a martyr now.

Also for a small dirty bomb all they need to do is to rob a hospital/smoke detector factory for cesium.

And what about dirty bombs?

Those are pretty much like IED's, only that they have radioactive dust packed inside of them, and they can take out up to 4 blocks if they're powerfull.
The talibans are weak when it comes to manpower, I'd say they COULD use small-time explosives at a large scale.

Considering al-Qaeda hasn't managed to anything significant since 9-11, I honestly doubt that.

How ignorant are we going to be tonight? Have you seen what has been happening in Afghanistan since this has been announced?

The Taliban are one of the most feared militia groups in the world.

Im guessing all Afganistan TDMs on Blockland will sliver away now.

The Taliban actually got close to having a chance of stealing nukes from Pakistan, but they got pushed back.

Sure, a dirty bomb may be simpler to build than a warhead, but the terrorist would still need to get ahold of some really radioactive stuff to make an effective one. And dirty bombs don't really blow anything up, they just spread radiation. It would be something they would blow one up in a busy place as a terrorist attack. It's not the kind of thing they can launch across the ocean and use to blow up a city.

Sorry I don't live in the third world.

It's not easy to see their reaction right now because every single news channel is totally not talking about Osama being dead and prepping the news conference.

They're still across the ocean from America.

They might be able to attack a country in Europe of Africa, though.

They would take advantage of the orchard revolution ( or how it's called in english)

EDIT HES ANNOUNCING STUFF GO ON CBS

CNN was covering the joyous rallies in Kabul about one half of an hour ago.

Half hour ago?

I wasn't at the TV, 11:10 PM I learned Osama died.

Well, now you know that Muslims weren't the biggest fan of Osama bin Laden.
