Summary: Is al Qaeda capable of carrying out a nuclear attack against the United States? To answer the question, this program investigates the secret world of nuclear smuggling and the efforts of security and law enforcement officials to stop it. The video features Peter Bergen, author of the New York Times bestseller Holy War Inc. and the first western television journalist to interview Osama bin Laden. Specific topics include: documents found in Kabul that confirm al Qaeda's keen interest in developing and deploying a nuclear device; bin Laden's link to Pakistani nuclear scientists; and the questionable safeguards employed to protect nuclear materials in Russia.
