ISIS brags it can get a nuke or dirty bomb into US

The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), in the latest edition of its propaganda magazine, indicated that it could purchase a nuclear weapon in Pakistan, take it to Nigeria, and then smuggle it into the U.S. through Mexico by using existing trafficking networks in Latin America.

In March, Gen. John Kelly, then-commander of U.S. Southern Command (Southcom), warned that Islamic terrorist groups such as ISIS could exploit the capabilities and knowledge of Latin American smuggling networks to infiltrate the U.S. through Mexico and possibly bring in weapons of mass destruction.

“Let me throw a hypothetical operation onto the table,” Cantlie wrote in the article entitled “The Perfect Storm.” “The Islamic State has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their wilāyah [province] in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region.” He addded:


The weapon is then transported over land until it makes it to Libya, where the mujāhidīn [fighters] move it south to Nigeria. Drug shipments from Columbia bound for Europe pass through West Africa, so moving other types of contraband from East to West is just as possible.The nuke and accompanying mujāhidīn 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.

If not a nuke, ISIS could easily smuggle in “a few thousand tons of ammonium nitrate explosive” that is easy to manufacture, said the article.

Discounting the fact that this is also a lot of posturing like the Islamists are famous for, our southern border certainly isn't secure and their threat is credible. You can't leave the front door open without some flies getting into the house.

When are our government officials going to wake up?

I get it...I get it...both sides want illegals as future voters, union members, cheap labor, future parishioners, and whatnot, but none of that will matter if some radical group actually starts setting off WMD's in major cities.

I actually pity the politicians when that happens. The American people will want their heads along with the heads of the enemy.

If poor, uneducated, unfit women and children can get into the US border states...why do we think ISIS cannot do the same thing?

The Mexico-Guatemalan border is heavily patrolled. Just as gringos don't want illegal mexicans here, Mexicans don't want illegal Guatemalan's either. They'd have to bribe someone big time to smuggle a nuke through there. Im not saying it cant be done, happens everyday.

Bribe someone in Mexico? Yeah, like that would be hard to do.

I fully expect this will happen before we are past the ISIS threat. May be just a dirty bomb, but something like this will occur.

I believe it would be easier (now) for them to logistically pull off than the original 9/11 attacks.

I 'almost' wish something like that would happen so the gov and liberals could get the slap in their face they need and finally secure the borders.

A dirty bomb on them would include Baco's bits....

Sounds like they could get it on an airplane pretty easy...

If such a horrific event were to transpire, let it be in Detroit or Dearborn as the landscape won't change much before or after.

I seriously DO NOT want to see ISIS succeed in setting off a WMD in this country. Are you guys nuts?

What I DO hope for is that a credible plot will be interrupted and the perps dealt with....that should be enough to get the American public awake and demanding their "representatives" take action.

I think they could probably do it, but I also think it would be the last thing they would want to do. Obviously the douchebags have forgotten what happened after Pearl Harbor - coming soon to the middle-east near you, 8 million pissed off American soldiers.
