MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Islamic State jihadist group (ISIL) could obtain a nuclear weapon within 12 month, according to the latest issue of the ISIL’s propaganda magazine Dabiq.
“The Islamic State 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," the article, attributed to British photojournalist John Cantlie held hostage by the ISIL for over two years, said...
...Once the ISIL buys the bomb in Pakistan, according to the article, it would transport it through Lybia and Nigeria to the West.
“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 article pointed out.
Cantlie stressed that the ISIL is looking to do “something big” on the US soil and it will be more real “a year from today.”
“The more groups that pledge allegiance [to the ISIL] the more possible it becomes to pull off something truly epic,” he added.

Yeah, sorry - I was waiting on you creating the thread, but since you didn't I went ahead and did it.
?
On topic, who knows? The problem is people didn't give the Nazi's much credit before their unfortunate rise to power. We know they have the money, so perhaps IF they can get the nuke, another world power who has an interest in attacking the US might aid them.... Russia? China? North Korea? Who knows.
I dont believe for one minute Russia, China, North Korea and Pakistan would ever sell a Nuke to anyone in the knowledge they would use it in a terror attack. That would be a Huge mistake to make.

-- I'm concerned about being **fed the information** that ISIS is closer to acquiring a nuke.

Recently i watched a documentary: Everything is a rich mans trick. And at the end he says, what is next? Nuclear bomb on USA soil.
And i would suggest to you Americans to give green light to Obama to go and make money for the big corporations in the Syria. Because it is better to go now, when nuclear bomb didn't explode, than go later when bomb will explode, because if anything is true in the documentary i have watch, then this evil people are more than ready to detonate a nuclear bomb on USA soil just to make money.

ISIS closer to buying Pakistani Nuke
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'.
Looks like this could get the ball rolling for Obama to finally get boots on ground in Syria.
Obama: Boots on ground if ISIS get nukes
Could be interesting times to come. The Assad chemical weapons against children didn't persuade the public to go to war in Syria, but I'm sure ISIS with a nuke will help sway public opinion.

ISIS are selling the oil locally within Syria and on the black market to Turkey.
There's no tankers.

And how are they supposed to buy a Nuke. It's not like you can just go to the Nuke Shop and buy one off the shelf, and even if they get their hands on a Warhead, what's the chances they can successfully detonate it...Dirty Bomb at most?
