In June 2008, an Indian national security adviser told U.S. personnel that Al Qaeda was a "clear attempt to obtain fissile material" and "has the expertise to make a bomb more than a simple pump." Subsequently, U.S.
embassies in several places alerts sent to Washington on illicit nuclear trafficking, and terrorist groups trying to carry large amounts of uranium and plutonium throughout Europe, Africa and Middle East. Security officials have warned that the 'extremists' supplies could even use biological agents as Anthrax, FMD and avian flu to develop lethal biological weapons.
The matter was subsequently discussed at a NATO meeting in January 2009 between the heads of security of Member States who have concluded that Al Qaeda could use 'dirty bombs' against the troops in Afghanistan. The documents published by The Daily Telegraph also refer to the terrorists planned to use toys to hide their bombs and to introduce them without problems on airplanes or buildings.

authorities reported that three men apparently from Qatar, were prepared to be a fifth team suicidal. However, these tenderers, who traveled aboard a plane by British Airways to New York three weeks before the attacks, aborted their attack at the last minute and decided to return to Doha, via London.
