Report: Islamic State Claims ‘Radioactive Device’ Now In Europe -- Washington Free Beacon

Freelance jihadist weapons maker makes claim on Twitter

An alleged weapons maker for the Islamic State (IS) claimed that a “radioactive device” has been smuggled into an undisclosed location in Europe, according to an intelligence brief released Monday by the SITE Intelligence Group.

“A Radioactive Device has entered somewhere in Europe,” according Twitter user Muslim-Al-Britani, who claims to be a freelance jihadist weapons maker now working alongside IS (also known as ISIL or ISIS), according to tweets captured and disseminated by SITE.

The claim by Al-Britani comes just days after reports emerged that IS could have in its possession a dirty bomb, the elements of which were obtained via earlier IS raids on a university research facility in Mosul that contained uranium. Al-Britani is also responsible for the flurry of reports on the dirty bomb.

ISIS Has the Materials to Build a Dirty Bomb, But It’s Nothing to Worry About (Catherine Phillips and Damien Sharkov, Newsweek).

Yeah right .....
