Now that is interesting. They can determine where it came from. Yes. We can tell quite accurately where fissile materials come from, by minor differences in isotopic distributions and contaminants. Those nations with nuclear capabilities know this well, and moreover they know that we will treat nuclear attacks by "rogue" elements as if they came from the nation in whose territory the material originated.

Then what would we do?
