ISIS claims it could buy nuclear weapon from Pakistan within a year
ISIS says it is expanding so rapidly and it could buy a nuclear weapon within a year.
(IraqiNews.com) ISIS has used the ninth edition of its propaganda magazine “Dabiq” to say that it is expanding so rapidly and it could buy its first nuclear weapon within a year.
In an article entitled ‘The Perfect Storm’ and attributed to the British captive John Cantlie, ISIS claims that militant groups such as Boko Haram, which recently pledged allegiance to ISIS, are uniting across the Middle East, Africa and Asia to create one global movement.
“Let me throw a hypothetical operation onto the table. The ISIS has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their Wilayat in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region,” The article reads.
“It is the sum of all fears for Western intelligence agencies and it is infinitely more possible today than it was just one year ago,” the article also adds. “And if not a nuke, what about a few thousand tons of ammonium nitrate explosive? … That is easy enough to make.”
“An attack launched by ISIS against America would ridicule the attacks of the past.”
The article continues, “They will [ISIS militants] be looking to do something big, something that would make any past operation look like a squirrel shoot, and the more groups that pledge allegiance the more possible it becomes to pull off something truly epic.”
