ISIS has Enough Radioactive Material to Build 'Dirty Bomb' : by Tad Cronn

It's not exactly rocket science, but ISIS could have captured enough radioactive material to build its first "dirty bomb," according to Australian intelligence.
It's also no secret that ISIS has plans to try to acquire as many weapons of mass destruction as possible. They said so in their magazine. (Ain't 21st century terrorism grand?)
NATO has also expressed worries about ISIS's capture of hospitals and research centers where radioactive materials are stored.
Australian foreign minister Julie Bishop said the concern about ISIS and radioactive materials was "really worrying" top officials who recently called an urgent meeting of the Australia Group, a 40-nation organization devoted to preventing the spread of WMDs.
A dirty bomb is not the same as a full nuclear device. The explosive does not achieve fission and is not at first as destructive as a nuke.
But a dirty bomb can spread nuclear materials over a wide area, effectively poisoning people far beyond the initial blast radius. At least, that's the theory.
ISIS obviously has the capability of building some large and dangerous bombs. All they have to do is pack one with the captured nuclear material.
