May 5th, 2011
We’ve known for years that al Qaeda longs to execute an attack in the west that would dwarf the horrors of September 11. So, what if they finally, somehow, obtained a nuclear weapon? What would they do with it, for maximum impact?
Veteran bestselling author Richard North Patterson shows — in alarmingly realistic detail — just how al Qaeda could pull it off, in his new thriller “The Devil’s Light” — the title is an allusion to the awful, vaporizing light of a thousand suns created by a nuclear blast.Ironically, a key figure in Patterson’s book is Osama bin Laden. “The Devil’s Light” hit store shelves a mere two days after bin Laden’s death at the hands of U.S. Navy Seals.

I’m glad that bin Laden is dead. Just why haven’t we begun to question his wives?
