IS Has Power To Buy Nuclear Weapons
Highlights
The Islamic State terror outfit has used the latest issue of its propaganda magazine, Dabiq, to suggest the group is expanding so rapidly it could buy its first nuclear weapon within a year.
The Islamic State terror outfit has used the latest issue of its propaganda magazine, Dabiq, to suggest the group is expanding so rapidly it could buy its first nuclear weapon within a year.
The hyperbolic article, which the group attributes to the British hostage John Cantlie, claims that IS has transcended its roots as “the most explosive Islamic ‘group’ in the modern world” to evolve into “the most explosive Islamic movement the modern world has ever seen” in less than twelve months, The Gurdian reported.
The piece, entitled ‘The Perfect Storm’, claims that they have seized “tanks, rocket launchers, missile systems, anti-aircraft systems,” from the US and Iran.“Let me throw a hypothetical operation onto the table,” the article continues. “The IS has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their ‘wilayah’ in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region.” It admits that such a scenario is “far-fetched” but warns: “It’s the sum of all fears for Western intelligence agencies and it’s infinitely more possible today than it was just one year ago.
“And if not a nuke, what about a few thousand tons of ammonium nitrate explosive? That’s easy enough to make.” An attack launched by IS against America would ridicule “the attacks of the past”. “They’ll be looking to do something big, that would make any operation look like squirrel shoot, and the more groups that pledge allegiance the more possible it becomes to pull off something truly epic,” the article said.
