NYTimes Exposes Nuclear Taliban Hoax

NYTimes Exposes Nuclear Taliban Hoax

The NY Times on November 17 ran an article about the media's declaration that Al Qaeda is building nuclear weapons. It turns out out that the papers on which the media report was based are in fact a parody article written in 1979. As reported in The Daily Rotten (Nov. 16) and this blog (among others).
