Considering Al-Qaeda's fantastic success rate in Western countries post-9/11, I'm not going to lose much sleep over this.

It doesn't even make sense for AQ to be doing something like this. If they have a nuke squirrelled away somewhere in Europe, why are they tying it to OBL's capture? If the best they can manage to put out there are shoe-bombers and underwear-explosives who can't keep their mouths shut, then setting off the damn nuke already would make them look a lot more effective and fearsome.

"We don't negotiate with terroists" has a corollary - these terrorists have generally nothing to negotiate about.
