Won't be long now

That's what I mean. A not-so-dirty bomb shouldn't be that hard to sneak in either.
Now if I understand correctly, a dirty bomb is one that explodes with normal explosives and scatters the area with radioactive material, I just wonder why they would do that if they could just about as easily build a real nuke causing a lot more destruction and fear?

A real nuke would take much more time and effort. Not to mention the quality of uranium needed. It would also require massive amounts of explosives to detonate.

A dirty bomb on the other hand just requires sprinkling the material amongst the explosives. It also doesnt require quality material, any radioactive material could be used, even speant fuel from a power plant. This is a very real threat. With the decay of the russian control over their nuclear stockpiles it's going to become more and more easier for these things to be attained by terrorists. Dirty bomb's are simpler and can cause far more damage then just a nuke. The half life on some of that material is more then a human lifespan.

This is very chilling thing indeed. Quite glad the Georgian officials managed to catch them.
