ISIS Claims to Be 'Infinitely' Closer to Buying Nukes From Pakistan and Smuggling It Into the US
Christian Post ^ | 05/27/2015 | Samuel Smith

The Islamic State terrorist organization proclaims it's now "infinitely" closer to buying a nuclear weapon and sneaking it inside the United States than it has ever been, a "far-fetched" claim that's designed only to spark fear of deadly chaos on American soil.

In the latest issue of ISIS' monthly English propaganda magazine, Dabiq, an article believed to have been written by captured British photojournalist John Cantlie states that it would be much easier than people realize for ISIS to acquire nuclear weapons and smuggle it through South and Central Americas and up to the southern border.

The article, which is titled "The Perfect Storm," presents the idea that ISIS could purchase nuclear weapons from corrupt Pakistani officials, by way of militants in the Islamic State's affiliated Pakistani militia group.

"Let me throw a hypothetical operation onto the table," the IJReview quotes the Dabiq article as stating. "The Islamic State has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their wilayah [province] in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region. The weapon is then transported overland until it makes it to Libya, where the mujahidin move it south to Nigeria."

The article continues by reasoning that since drug shipments from Colombia pass through West Africa, it would make smuggling "other types of contraband from East to West just as possible."

"The nuke and accompanying mujahidin [militants] 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," the article explains. "From there it's 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."

Pakistan knows that if one of their nukes goes off in the Untied States their country would disappear from a Trident launch without any warning.

Nah, the USA would hit Syria. Or maybe Monaco. They don't have a recent history of accurately fingering the bad guys.

Nuclear weapons leave fingerprints and we would know the origin of the warhead and Pakistan knows that if one of their nukes goes off in the Untied States their country would disappear from a Trident launch without any warning. The same for any other county, but than again Iran doesn’t care because they welcome Armageddon.

Iman Baraq would have to order it. Won't happen.

Obama wants a nuke detonated here, that is the difference. He’ll probably hve dhs help them get it in here. If it’s not one of our own in a false flag ordered by Barry himself.

Barry will not order this. Whoever actually did it wont get nuked. if anyone does, in retaliation, you can be sure its not going to be barry’s friends who just nuked us.

Next time someone tries to throw the old "the arabs invented algebra!" thing at me I'll remember this line and shrug.

The only saving grace here is Pakistan is known for betraying everyone - the US, Iran, Arabs, Russians ... and I’m sure they’ll screw over ISIS too.

Other than that, if ISIS gets a nuke they’ll destroy Washington DC.

Unfortunately the talk has us wringing our hands and weeing in our pants rather then turning them into dust. We need a leader willing to take them on.

Any nuke they get in here will be large and not that powerful. For maximum impact (deaths) you nuke a full sports stadium. Park a large van near the stadium

Small town USA isn’t going to be the target, the huge population centers are the targets. Most likely Miami, NYC, LA,or Las Vegas. Detroit and Chicago, not so much but Washington DC could be, but I don’t think the Terrorists could contend with the traffic.

"Washington DC could be", that would a grand slam cleanup if the chief narcissist were addressing a joint session of Congress.

I'd miss all the historical buildings and Arlington National Cemetery but maybe a clean slate would make it worthwhile. Instant Urban Renewal!

If a sneak attack up the Potomac took out DC there would be a notable lack of leadership around to orchestrate a response. One must hope that the Trident boats C&C protocols include the possibility of losing DC and include a redundant link to targeting information and authorization to fire as a fall back position.

This is true, but if D.C. is the target than the acting General left in command of strategic forces would have authority.

Perhaps a detonated nuke on US soil will finally be a wake up call.

When (not if) Iran gets nukes in a few years Obama will completely own it.

And yet, it will still be Bush's fault.

The Homeland inSecurity border is wide open. If they do it, I say we kill all the leadership of homeland insecurity.
