Canada’s Spy Agency Confronts Al-Qaeda Nuclear Terror Plot in New Novel
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) uncovers evidence that Al-Qaeda, with covert assistance from Iran and North Korea, is using Canada as a staging ground to launch a nuclear terror plot directed against the United States.
(PRWEB) July 18, 2005 -- It is the ultimate nightmare scenario for
intelligence agencies engaged in the war on terrorism: an alliance, based on
shared enemies, between Iran, North Korea and the Al-Qaeda terrorist movement.
The objective: provide Al-Qaeda with weapons of mass destruction, using Canada
as a staging ground, so it can launch a devastating nuclear attack on the United
States. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service, better known as CSIS, is in
a race against time to prevent a terrorist event which, if it occurs, will prove
apocalyptic for much of North America. This frightening prospect is explored in
explicit detail in the novel, “King of Bombs,” just published.
“Though my
novel is a fictional account of a future act of nuclear terrorism, leading
experts have spoken eloquently of the near certitude that an act of nuclear
terror will occur on American soil, perhaps within the next few years,” said,
Sheldon Filger, the 47 year old author of “King of Bombs.” He referred to a
recent interview former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean, who chaired the 9/11
Commission, gave to NBC’s “Meet the Press.” When asked if he thought it likely
that he would witness a terrorist attack by Al-Qaeda involving the detonation of
a nuclear bomb in an American city during his lifetime, Governor Kean said, “I
believe that, and we talked to nobody who had studied the issue who didn’t think
it was a real possibility.” Al-Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden, are on
record regarding their intent to acquire and use nuclear weapons against the
United States (quotes from Al-Qaeda related to nuclear terrorism can be found on
the author’s website, www.kingofbombs.com).
The author, Sheldon Filger,
resided in New York City on September 11, 2001, and his experiences during the
terrorist attack on the World Trade Center inspired him to write “King of
Bombs.” Numerous terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda since 9/11 provided further
stimulus for the author to explore, through his novel, the possibility of
nuclear terrorism being initiated by the Islamist terrorist network. The covert
nuclear weapons activity by North Korea, and suspected nuclear weapons program
being undertaken by Iran, were further backdrops for a plot that many experts
have speculated on; countries hostile to the United States providing clandestine
assistance to Al-Qaeda in mounting a mass casualty attack on the U.S. involving
unconventional weapons. The long, undefended Canadian-U.S border makes Canada an
ideal base for an Al-Qaeda operation involving weapons of mass destruction, a
central theme of the novel. Filger’s novel, “King of Bombs,” presents a
terrifying scenario, involving the possibilities of a nexus between rogue
states, black market nuclear materials and Al-Qaeda, leaving open the potential
for a calamity of nightmarish proportions. He currently resides in Winnipeg,
Canada, and can be contacted for interviews by phone at 204-786-5845 (cellular

Bombs,” for review purposes, are available to journalists from the publisher,
