Iraqi jihadists have grabbed 88 pounds of uranium compounds from a Mosul University science lab, but U.S. and international weapons experts are downplaying the possibility the deadly toxins could be used to make a so-called "dirty bomb."
The material, believed to be low-grade, unenriched uranium mixed with other elements, was taken from a science lab at Mosul University by ISIS, the terrorist group that took over Iraq's second-largest city last month and has vowed to attack Baghdad. Iraq notified the UN in a July 8 letter which sought international help to "stave off the threat of their use by terrorists in Iraq or abroad," according to Reuters, which saw the letter.
Although the material is not believed to be weaponized, and ISIS does not have known missile delivery capability, the theft stoked fear that a dirty bomb - a primitive explosive used to disseminate radioactive material - could be fashioned from the uranium compounds.
"There is theoretically the potential for a dirty bomb.”
- Daryl Kimball, Arms Control Association
"There is theoretically the potential for a dirty bomb,” Daryl Kimball, of the Arms Control Association in Washington, told FoxNews.com, explaining that such bombs are more effective at scaring people than killing them. "It explodes and the terrorist is banking on the fear factor of radiation. That’s what we are looking at here at worst.”
Iraq's Foreign Ministry said the compounds were used at Mosul University labs in "very limited quantities" for research, and that they were slated for destruction before ISIS took over the city.

Thanks to Obama and the EXEMPT Complicit Congress
the borders are WIDE OPEN.
This stuff is more likely to show up in Israel.
So even a vanishingly small amount of radioactive material strewn somewhere in the typical city will result in a mass exodus.
baraq isn’t concerned. He will be in Martha’s vineyard, a long way away from the border.
Tell ISIS that you can open the containers and smear the uranium on your skin as a moisturizer and sunblock. :-)
With a lying government and a complicit media its impossible to know what the real nuclear threat is from rogue terrorists or rogue nations, but is it necessary to insult women who wish to keep their kids safe from jihadists with a death wish?
They want to pretend that it was/is no valid WMD material.
Not really a dirty bomb, just an unclean bomb. Nothing to worry about.....
So you think anyone who is concerned about our open borders and utter lack of foreign policy and a Muslim-sympathizing “president” is some kind of hand-wringing dingbat soccer mom? Shove it. I live 40 miles from D.C. and you can damn well bet I worry about this sort of thing.

Isis said see you in New York. Where do you think they will utilize a dirty bomd - a major metropolitan to score the greatest effect - fear and terror. Keep in mind the radical Islamist will strive to kill as much and inflict as much pain in a large metropolitan area. Also keep in mind the Radical Islamic believe that they can rush in the 12th imam to return through carnage, blood and chaos, What do you think Odumbo is = a radical Islamist
