ISIS Threatens Use of Nuclear Bomb in London; UN Ambassador Warns of 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' - International Business Times

This may be a bluff to make people fear ISIS more, but they are claiming that Saddam's Uranium that has been confirmed as captured by them - has been made into a dirty bomb and they are developing/studying more.

A British bomb expert is a member of ISIS and has threatened that it would kill many if set off in London.

Could we send Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid and Holder over to London, just to see if this is a bluff?

They know a thing or two about bombing.

The first time they use something like that the whole world will go medevil on Isis and Muslims in general. Gloves off.

How about we send everyone who said "Bush lied" on a vacation to London?

have reportedly developed a nuclear weapon from the radioactive material they seized from the Mosul University in Iraq.

I don't know if the story is true or not. What I DO think though, is that the world will not get serious about destroying ISIS until something large scale and catastrophic happens. England. Here. Somewhere and to some people we actually care about.

Ah, my friend, you have just laid the first brick in the foundation of yet another truther type conspiracy.

So ISIS found the stuff out in the featureless deserts when everyone who played a part in the hiding is now dead and gone?
Okey doke.

Anything, I guess, is possible, but I'm not breaking out in a nervous sweat just yet. Blind luck is extremely rare in such greatness. Winning the lottery has much better odds, with far less risk and far more promise.

All islamic state has to do is gather up a few ammo cans of DU rounds from one of the US tanks they stole. Not too big of a deal. Disaster crews would isolate people from the heavy metal poisoning potential and wash away the dust.
If they did have 40 kg of somewhat enriched uranium, and they smashed it up with some explosives, the result could be bad. I'd call it an in situ dirty bomb and the IAEA would call it a "nuclear device." How the terrorists win this one? Because the media will call it a...
