Al-Qaeda seeking nuclear kit attacks.
LONDON (Reuters) - Al Qaeda is trying to acquire the technology to carry out a nuclear attack against Western targets including Britain, a senior official said on Monday.
"We know the aspiration is there. We know attempts to gather materials are there, we know that attempts to gather technology are there," the senior Foreign Office official told reporters.
Thecomments at a briefing came days after the head of MI5 said Muslim extremists were plotting at least 30 major terrorist attacks in Britain which could involve chemical and nuclear devices.
The Foreign Office official, asked whether there was any doubt that Al Qaeda wants to gather nuclear material for use against Western targets, said: "No doubt at all."
Eliza Manningham-Buller, head of MI5, said last week young British Muslims were being groomed to become suicide bombers and her agents were tracking some 1,600 suspects, most of whom were British-born and linked to al Qaeda in Pakistan.
