Take this article for what it's worth - a conglomeration of unconfirmed and unverifyable intelligence sources. But I fear the only true verification that will happen in the future is the devastating, tragic verification of an actual mega-attack.

The classified reports have been distributed to U.S. intelligence agencies for several consecutive months and say Zarqawi, al Qaeda's leader in Iraq, has stored the nuclear device or dirty bomb in Afghanistan, said officials familiar with the intelligence.
