Apparently you do not understand nuclear weapons.

1) You can NOT put "A bomb" in a suitcase.

The US manufactured (and tested) the Davy Crockett nuclear bazooka. It
certainly qualifies as a suitcase-sized nuclear weapon. It was a pure
fission implosion design, with a maximum yield of around 250t TNT. It
was also pretty close to the smallest theoretical size for a nuclear
weapon.

It weighed about 76lbs and was man-portable. They were actually deployed
in the field without the soldiers dying of radiation sickness. There are
photographs of them being tested in the Nevada desert.

They were designed to destroy advancing Russian tank columns, but it
would have been a last ditch suicide mission for the soldiers to use
them - at the range they would probably have had to set the fuse, the
prompt ionizing radiation would also have killed the soldiers using them
even at the lowest yield settings.
