Last time Osama gave us fair warning before an attack and we ignored it, four planes were hijacked and over 7,000 people died.
My advice, take him seriously has he's got the ressources necessary to acquire or built the weapon once he puts his hand on weapon grade plutonium (which he's been openly trying to do since '93).
I don't think he escaped north through the NA or that he escaped recently to Pakistan which has had it's border closed. If he left, it was early on, but his best bet for safety still seems the Afghan mountain caves.
Osama has never given "fair" warning. Saying he wants the destruction of America and something big is coming isn't really the same thing as a warning.
I do think his goal is nuclear weapons, but I doubt his claim of having them. It would tip his hand which he hasn't done before.
