ISIS May Be on Brink of Using Nuclear Weapons

If ISIS was actually able to procure and detonate a nuclear weapon....that would be some big news indeed!

I wonder if it would cross Obama's "red line" for using WMD's?

Harvard researcher Matthew Bunn revealed that extremist groups such as ISIS are “evolving” and could be armed with nuclear weapons in the near future.

The report on Managing the Atom by the US university researcher details the threat of three types of nuclear or radiological terrorism.

This includes detonation of a nuclear bomb, sabotage of a nuclear facility and use of a dirty bomb to spread radioactive material.

But the report looks in greater detail at the possibility of a nuclear bomb being detonated as it would be “most catastrophic”.

The report comes as the Nuclear Security Summit sets to take place today in Washington.

Western leaders including David Cameron are growing increasingly fearful that terrorist groups are closer than ever to their goal of obtaining a chemical or nuclear warhead.

The authors also wrote: “The radiation from a dirty bomb, by contrast, might not kill anyone—at least in the near term—but could impose billions of dollars in economic disruption and cleanup costs.

Can you even imagine the cost of clean up and disruption if a terrorist group was able to explode a dirty bomb in Manhattan?

Such an event might even get the nation's mind off of Donald Trump for a few news cycles....
