Armed with 'Dirty Bomb' ISIS has Terror Plans for London; UN Raises Alarm
International Business Times ^ | December 1, 2014 | Johnlee Varghese

The Islamic State (ISIS) militants claimed on Twitter that they had the 'dirty bomb' and had 'terror' plans for London, confirming fears raised by the United Nations(UN) back in July.

Several ISIS affiliate accounts made the claim in the last few days that the militant group had the capacity to make the ' Bomb' using 40kg of Uranium that the group 'stole' from the Mosul University some four months ago.

The details of the 'dirty bomb' emerged recently after the ISIS fighters boasted on Twitter of the chaos they could wreck in London. A "dirty bomb" is a type of radiological dispersal device (RDD) that combines conventional explosives, such as dynamite, with radioactive material.

A Mirror report claimed that British ISIS fanatics were seen boasting of the possible destruction in the UK.

An ISIS fanatic, identified as Hamayun Tariq of Dudley, West Midlands, revealed on social media that the group had the bomb ready, made using nuclear material....

If Islamics detonate a dirty bomb in London or anywhere, we or the British should Nuke Mecca. Make clear they are playing with fire and that we, the civilized world, will give no quarter to such heinous acts.

Make it a “dirty bomb”, and become a “roach motel”.

We won’t. Western leaders won’t do jack shit. Even if it makes a major city an irradiated wasteland for the next 100 years.

We could easily destroy the entire Middle East, root and branch, with just the missiles on one submarine and still leave launch tubes left unopened, such is the power and technology of multiple independent re-entry vehicles (MIRVs) as they're called.

ISIS would not care. That would motivate the rest of Islam to take up arms against us. That is what they want.

> Nuke Mecca.

I believe that’s the only thing that will stop them.

Their “prophet”, the murdering, thieving, raping, pillaging, slave-trading, genocidal pedophile said that Mecca would never be destroyed.

Prove him wrong and game over.

A “dirty bomb” won’t / can’t make a city an irradiated wasteland. It cause destruction from the explosion. And it will spread whatever radioactivity (contamination ) is contained in the device.

Contaminated areas can be cleaned, and yes I would volunteer to assist in that. The levels of radioactivity we are talking about here are, relatively speaking, minor.

The BIGGEST impact is fear induced in the public.

If they have such a weapon I would think Paris might be a bigger target or New York City. Why bomb Mecca? better to kill every living thing in the lands owned by IS. Goats, dogs, men women children—everyone. leave not one building standing.

It depends on the type of material, and how much material there is, and how refined it is.

A dirty bomb can cause a dead zone. For a very very long time.

The immediate fear, panic, chaos, deaths, coupled with shock would cause the world to deteriorate even further.

It would be 9/11 about 100x worse. In a lot of peoples minds: Radiation bomb = nuke = mass death destruction and irradiation = freedoms traded for safety. The ultimate sum will be a onen world government. You soud like Obama: “America can absorb another terrorist attack”.

No. Preemptive offense is the best defense. A nuclear weapon would be worse, and if islam isn’t put into check, it will eventually happen.

Plot Summary

Showing one plot summary

After years of meticulous planning, a terrorist operation is reaching its final stages. The authorities have received no intelligence; they are in a race against time but don’t yet know it. As the operation unfolds, we see the working lives of men and women directly affected by terrorism. Among them: a firemen worried about the increasingly dangerous conditions he and his men are expected to work under; the head of the anti-terrorist branch whose responsibility it is to protect London and a female Muslim detective brought into Scotland Yard to investigate another suspected terrorist cell. But it is too late to stop the attack. Outside Liverpool Street station suicide bombers detonate a large bomb, killing scores of commuters and sending a radioactive plume high into the morning sky. For the police, a desperate struggle to find and stop secondary attacks begins. For the fire service, the difficult and dangerous task of carrying out search and rescue in a heavily contaminated area. And for emergency service controllers, a mammoth operation to contain and decontaminate thousands of terrified people caught up in the aftermath of the explosion. Based on extensive research, DIRTY WAR asks whether as a nation we are prepared to face such an attack.

90% of London is so pro-muslim, it would be friendly fire to bomb them.
