Nazis, while horrible people, aren't terrorists. I don't think the term would be used correctly to describe nazis, Genghis Khan, the Romans or communists.

I must agree. Terrorists aren't usually nation states. The word terrorist has been thrown around so loosely that it has lost all meaning. It has become the favorite label of (Name organization you dislike here). Its a smear word.

Now when the word first gained notoriety nobody was in doubt as to what a terrorist was, But in these (Gag cough) politically correct (Sick) times "we the sheeple" must be cautious as so not to offend the worlds scum.

Err, could you even make a dirty bomb from DU? I mean, by definition, DU is very weakly radioactive, and contains an even lower concentration of U-235 than natural uranium

Dirty bombs are supposed to spread and kill using radioactivity, I'm sure it is easier to create panic by just putting more explosives in the bomb...

Well actually there purpose would be to cause fear, panic, and dismay.

The DU could be enough to trip the air monitors. That alone would probably end up with quite a few deaths.

There is something missing in this story though. What about the wife? What was her motive?
