The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has threatened the world claiming they are very close to acquiring a nuclear bomb from Pakistan to use in attacking the United States. They have threatened to smuggle it through the United State's porous southern border.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has threatened the world claiming they are very close to acquiring a nuclear bomb from Pakistan to use in attacking the United States.

The claim was made in an article entitled "The Perfect Storm" which was published in the Islamic State's English language propaganda magazine Dabiq; it was penned by British hostage John Cantlie, The Telegraph reported.

Cantlie, a photojournalist, has been kept hostage by the Islamic State for more than two years. He is regularly seen in Islamic terror propaganda videos, including in a YouTube series called "Lend Me Your Ears."

"The Islamic State has billions of dollars in the bank, so they can call on their wilāyah in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region," the article states, according to The Independent.

"The Islamic State makes no secret of the fact they have every intention of attacking America on its home soil and they're not going to mince about with two mujāhidīn (jihadis) taking down a dozen casualties if it originates from the caliphate," the article further said, according to MailOnline.

The Islamic State, also known as ISIS/ISIL/Daesh, has outlined its plan to move the hypothetical nuke weapon to carry out an attack on the United States.

"The nuke and accompanying mujahidin arrive on the shorelines of South America and are transported through the porous borders of Central America before arriving in Mexico and up to the border with the United States. From there it's just a quick hop through a smuggling tunnel and – hey, presto, they're mingling with another 12 million "illegal" aliens in America with a nuclear bomb in the trunk of their car," the chilling article reads, according to IANS.

Well, it worked with the Japanese, who demonstrated with the kamikaze pilots, the Kaiten Torpedoes, and even soldiers with explosives on their bodies, that they were willing to be suicidal in war, but the atomic bomb gave the perfect message: we could totally annihilate you, without losing any of our own, and our Godlike the emperor Hirohito is now in question. I strongly doubt that nuking, or even packing nukes inside of bunker busters to level mountains to the ground. I am pretty sure that they would be very similar to the Japanese in that respect.

Phoenix is the most likely target. Of this I’m confident. The borders have been forced open by Obama, everyone is flooding in from everywhere. Many are muslim, but most of them come in the front door, through other programs. Some, the hardcore, through the open border.

Phoenix may not seem that important, but it’s a logical target. It’s a bowl, with maximum effect, and the largest population withn just a few hours of the land border. We have the lagest nuclear power plant in the US, if not the world, right next to us. This is no secret. We have been traded off somehow by this admistration. Look at the way they’ve attacked Joe Arpaio as a way to create clear passage. In essence, there is no border at this point. What’s to stop them, and I dare say that this city is exactly what Obama means when he says we could absorb a terrorist attack. I’m not saying Obama WANTS this, but I am saying that in his naivete, he’s set the whole thing up.

This is not a serious threat. The only country that’s going to even let them steal anything certainly knows that we can fingerprint where it came from, and an hour after that, they would be a sheet of lumpy glass. If it came to it (God forbid), President Clinton herself would push the button no problem.

I never would have guessed Phoenix, but you do make a good point. Whichever city, I think it is not a matter of if, but when.
