"Osama bin Laden may soon have his hands on three Agosta 90B next-generation stealth submarines ..."

A prolific thinker, author and futurist, Howard Bloom, once during the 1990s tried to warn the press and America, through his books, The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain, and through his radio and television interviews that militant Islam posed an imminent danger. No one in power seemed interested. More recently Bloom warned of a looming, nuclear cataclysm. Had never heard about it, had you? Had this guy?

Osama bin Laden may soon have his hands on three Agosta 90B next-generation stealth submarines capable of carrying sixteen sea-to-land cruise missiles each. Those missiles can deliver atomic warheads. And Osama, I suspect, will have access to the forty nuclear warheads constructed by Pakistan.Washington and New York, two primary targets for Al Qaeda, are near bodies of water from which these nuclear-tipped missiles can be launched. So are many other major American cities.

Here are the skeletal details:In 1994, DCN, the government-owned company that builds France's naval vessels, agreed to help the Pakistanis build and learn to operate a rather amazing shipyard. It was a next-generation facility building next-tech, Agosta 90B stealth submarines. As of today two of these subs have been built and a third is scheduled for launch by 2006.
