ISIS Twitter Accts Claim They Have Weaponized Stolen Uranium, Created 'Dirty Bomb'
4 Dec

Islamic State terrorists are now claiming on social media that they have a "dirty bomb" in their possession. ISIS-affiliated users initially professed the information on Twitter, and added they had stolen 40 kg of Uranium from Mosul University after the city was overtaken by the jihadis in June.

UK’s Mirror reported that an ISIS supporter revealed the terror group had already weaponized the Uranium and turned it into a "dirty bomb."

“O by the way Islamic State does have a Dirty bomb. We found Radioactive [sic] material from Mosul university,” said the tweet by Islamic State militant who called himself Muslim al-Britani. “We’ll find out what dirty bombs are and what they do. We’ll also discuss what might happen if one actually went off in a public area.”

He added, threateningly, “This sort of bomb would be terribly destructive if went off in LONDON becuz it would be more of a disruptive than a destructive weapon.”

The man responsible for the Twitter post reportedly fled Britain in 2012 after posting bail on terrorism charges. He is believed to be in Syria fighting for the Islamic State.

Iraq’s UN Ambassador said in July that the nuclear material had been stolen from the Mosul University, which led UN Sec-General Ban Ki-moon to warn the substances “can be used in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.

"These nuclear materials, despite the limited amounts mentioned, can enable terrorist groups, with the availability of the required expertise, to use it separate or in combination with other materials in its terrorist acts," said Mohamed Ali Alhakim, the UN’s Ambassador to Iraq.

It appears that our lives just got a lot more interesting.

and i they were stupid enough to use it they really would have a shit storm delivered back, the gloves would be off and they would be eliminated in short order

I doubt it.

Any move the West makes against them just gives them material for a recruiting commercial, and, so far, the Islamic world's response has been less than spectacular and in no way decisive.


Besides. There are those that will say the CIA set it off in order to justify an attack on the Caliphate because that'd make Jeb Bush look better in 16.
Or some such claptrap.

I'm quite sure some loser on Twitter =/= substantial evidence/cause for concern.

 

[DrLeftover]

The Iraqi Ambassador isn't "some loser on twitter".

The fact that the material is now in the hands of the Caliphate is reason enough to be concerned.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

They will use it. And my guess it is heading straight for Israel. And that is when Israel will finally take the gloves off. I could definitely see Israel launching a nuke right into the heart of ISIS territory.
