I would guess that their "dirty bomb" probably contains nothing more lethal than depleted uranium scavenged from various battlefields. It would be incapable of causing real radiological damage, but it would set off a blind panic among the gullible; that is, the media and the many victims of their anti-nuclear brainwashing.

I'd be happy if that's all they got (I'd be far happier if they don't even have that).

We've been blooded and I think most people would act reasonably. The oanic in the streets scenario just doesn't hold water anymore. Sorry Jihad Dude.

No . . . They have really HOT uranium waste from nuclear facilities taken from Russia and real suit case nukes. There is a report from back in 2000.
The threat is real.

You are correct, sir! A dirty bomb would be very limited in range and it's effects are easily eliminated with proper preparation and taking a shower.
Pretty much the same with chemical weapons that do less damage if dispersed over a wide area. It has to be concentrated.
Biological weapons are a little more hazardous, but also easily avoided once unleashed and a fast quarantine of the effected and inoculations of others would limit it's damage.
I'm more worried about some large asteroid hitting the planet or Russia getting ticked and launching sub-based nukes in the large megaton level. Or China.
