Its a real fear - luckily, its most unlikely to happen - nuclear weapons are extremely difficult to build and require such resources that the so-called 'Axis of Evil' states would place them under strict security.

Difficult and impossible aren't synonymous. It can be done, however difficult it may be.

They also value their lives as much as we do, and i don't think their stupid enough to supply them.

Call me crazy, but I don't think the guys who were in the cockpit on 9/11 had much value on their lives. The masterminds maybe self important nutjobs who think themselves touched by deities, but the guys at ground zero are usually pretty hardened fanatics ready to throw their lives away in the name of said deity.
My point was that nuclear weapons are difficult to produce, and require a state to fund the project to completion, said state is very unlikely (i never said impossible) to then gift these weapons to terrorist groups.

9/11 isn't comparable in this respect, they didn't use any bombs - the plane was the bomb.
