London's Tower Bridge. Nuclear terror risk to Britain from Al-Qaeda
It is feared that terrorists could bring a nuclear bomb up the Thames on a small boat.
Bomb makers who have been active in Afghanistan may already have the ability to produce a "dirty bomb" using knowledge acquired over the internet.
It is feared that terrorists could transport an improvised nuclear device up the Thames and detonate it in the heart of London. Bristol, Liverpool Newcastle, Glasgow and Belfast are also thought to be vulnerable.
Lord West, the Security Minister, also raised the possibility of terrorists using small craft to enter ports and launch an attack similar to that in Mumbai in 2008, when more than 150 people were killed.
The Government is so concerned about the threat that it is setting up a command centre to track suspicious boats.
Here again we have life following the plot I wrote in 2008 for Apsaras II. Is there no one listening?
The two Iranian boats, the 'Khomeini' and the 'Saladin' are sent to devastate New York and London, codenamed Sodom and Gomorrah, armed with nuclear devices.
When will my work be recognised for being ahead of its time with plots that are believable as well as exciting?
When will agents realise that 'Chick-Lit' has had a good run and people are fed up with stories about orphans, disabilities and mental cases?
