Report: Islamic State Claims ‘Radioactive Device’ Now in Europe
Free Beacon ^ | 12/8/14 | Adam Kredo

An alleged weapons maker for the Islamic State (IS) claimed that a “radioactive device” has been smuggled into an undisclosed location in Europe, according to an intelligence brief released Monday by the SITE Intelligence Group.

“A Radioactive Device has entered somewhere in Europe,” according Twitter user Muslim-Al-Britani, who claims to be a freelance jihadist weapons maker now working alongside IS (also known as ISIL or ISIS), according to tweets captured and disseminated by SITE.

If they had one, why would they say this, and increase the risk of getting caught & stopped?

At least the White House is safe. No Islamic terrorist would endanger their most influential ally - a mole at the very highest level of what is supposed to be our government.

I doubt this claim as it would violate operational security to reveal your intention in advance and jeopardize the mission. Having said that, we can’t be sure they don’t have such a device. During the war with Russia the Chechnyans claimed to have a nuclear bomb. The Russians said, “Oh, yeah? Tell us the serial number and we’ll deal.” That was the last I heard about it. So, bluffs tend not to work. (Incidentally, the fact that the Russians had to ask that question scares the hell out of me.)

It will take several 9/11 style attacks where lots of liberals are killed before we will be allowed to fight back. If they happen look for all of the Palestinian sympathizers to get booed off the stage.

I guess we’ll have to have the muslims control their more excitable brethren: a weapon of mass destruction goes of in the West then mecca will glow for 1,000 years.

“While it is difficult to assess the veracity of Al-Britani’s claims, U.S. officials have expressed concern about IS potentially smuggling nuclear and radioactive material out of Iraq...”

And this “radioactive material” was left in Iraq because ... ?

All orqanizations need to give out positive reports to their supporter/shareholders/voters, especially when under pressure.

Exactly.

We have been fighting PC wars with the Muslims. When we get really mad we carpet bomb and use nuclear weapons. A dirty bomb in Times Square just might do the trick.

Recommendation to ISIS: Be careful what you ask for.

I doubt that some of their leaders care all that much about Mecca. The concept is just a way to exercise control. Actually attacking Mecca might be exactly what they would like to see to motivate their masses.

The troops knew it was there, but had to leave it behind because there was no money to deal with it, since there were no weapons of mass destruction according to the Dem party. So why spend money on something that does not exist? - you know, bush lied, people died.

Now, if true, the Dems should take the wrap.

Time for the EU to make a joint statement that use of any radioactive device by ISIS within European borders will be met with dropping of a really large radioactive device in the middle of Mecca and Medina and they’re not kidding.

No need to worry about this. One needs only try to ‘empathize’ with the mind that would engineer this plot. After that...serenity.

We'll just never know until we give it a try.
