Obama: ISIS plotting nuclear attacks on the West
Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/4/16 | David Rosenberg

World leaders gathered on Friday in Washington for the Nuclear Security Summit to discuss the growing threat of nuclear terrorism.

Noting the chilling possibility of a nuclear attack, US President Barack Obama remarked that Islamic State terrorists have already made use of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, and that there is evidence ISIS has made efforts to acquire nuclear material.

"ISIL has already used chemical weapons,” Obama said. “[T]here is no doubt if these madmen ever got their hands on a bomb or nuclear material they would use it to kill as many as possible".

"It would change our world. We cannot be complacent. We have to build on our progress.”

Obama pointed out that other Islamic terror organizations have pursued nuclear weapons, and that the ISIS-affiliated terror cell believed to be responsible for massacres in France and Belgium was planning to attack nuclear facilities in Europe.

New footage of ISIS training has revealed that the terror group is plotting to use drones as part of a “dirty bomb” attack on Western cities. Western security agencies believe Islamic State terrorists are planning to use remote controlled devices to drop radioactive material on major metropolitan areas, potentially killing thousands.

“We have already seen Daesh trying to look at whether they can they get their hands on low-level crop-using-type drones,” said one British official.

According to The Telegraph, ISIS is believed to have already acquired 90 pounds of uranium.

Israel knows that as any Muslim state actually gets a nuke, it will be fired at them. It’s the Holy Grail of most Muslims.

I think it can be cleaned up,but it’s a slow and tedious process.

According to the Israelis, there’s not too much to worry about.

The public has been groomed to accept a nuclear terrorist attack since 9/11. When it finally happens we will accept the final and complete dismantling of the Bill of Rights with cowering obedience, and the transformation into a totalitarian police state will be complete.

skeeter :" But lets not let this affect our opinion of our Islamic friends to whom we owe everything."

Didn't the Islamic scholars invent the number "zero " ?

Then we should thank them for 'zero'
Because "Zero" called them the JV team which filled in the vacuum create when 'zero' left the area.
The UN chief says we should invite them into our country based on our "Humanity " .
Explain to me how "humanity" helped during the Trojan War ?
No wonder why Common Core, pushed by this government, has little or no History, much less, American History , being taught !

Also, how would they get nukes?

Pakistan has an estimated 120-130 nuclear weapons.

Iran to follow.

North Korea would be glad to sell one.

Russian mafia?

Obama - “I just want our homies to know that the United States can absorb a nuclear attack (so you probably better send a couple).”

There’re real good reasons statist utopians, once in control, always seek to immediately obliterate any memory of the past.

All a nuclear attack will get rid of is surrogate voters. The voters for whom they are surrogates have been dead for years.

I'd like to see the Marshalls Service raid all the mosques and Muslim 'camps' in out country with Search Warrants in hand. Slam all the filthy towel heads out into the street and hunt for weapons and bomb making material. This would be a start.

And how many will it displace? A nuclear attack- even a dirty bomb- is Democrats worst nightmare. Check the dumb maps you see posted here the day after every presidential election showing red and blue counties.
