Islamic State has claimed it is ‘infinitely’ closer to buying a nuclear bomb from Pakistan and smuggling it into the US.
An article, apparently penned by British hostage John Cantlie for the terror group’s magazine, Dabiq, says the scenario is ‘more possible today than it was just one year ago’.
Cantlie, a photojournalist who has been held captive for more than two years, has appeared in multiple propaganda videos and articles for the extremist group.
In an article entitled ‘The Perfect Storm’, it is claimed ISIS has billions of dollars in the bank and describes a ‘hypothetical operation’ which involves it buying a nuclear bomb ‘through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials’ in Pakistan.
It describes how the device could be smuggled into North America overland and by boat.
‘Perhaps such a scenario is far-fetched but 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,’ it adds.
It says ‘if not a nuke’, a few tonnes of explosives could be used instead.
Re: ISIS to buy a nuclear weapon from Pakistan and smugle it to the US
Is this a pistol or Nuclear weapons that ISIS will buy and sneak into US with them? This sounds pathetic at so many levels and these ISIS morons sound more and more like puppets. Even Imam Ka’ba has disowned them and they hardly have any support in Pakistan except some random good for nothing idiots, definitely their support is not at a level where Pakistan would sell them nukes.
Re: ISIS to buy a nuclear weapon from Pakistan and smugle it to the US
A far-fetched hypothetical scenario put forward by an unknown photojournalist, turned into a ‘news’ article with a clickbait title… yeah, that’s how ‘journalism’ (read ‘propaganda’) is working these days.
Re: ISIS to buy a nuclear weapon from Pakistan and smugle it to the US
You are actually quoting and promoting the utter crap which is Daily Mail?
Exactly. I guess to attract traffic. I cringe to the point of shudder when I see supposedly educated folks falling for far right tabloid papers like Daily Mail. God help them.

^ Exactly! It’s been a long time since right wing fascists warmongers declared that Taliban are only moments away from acquiring Pakistani nukes. They needed to recycle this propaganda somehow.
