ISIS: Seize Iran Nuclear Secrets, Attack Caviar Industry, Ruin Carpets
2014-10-06
Leaders of the extremist group, Isis (Islamic State) wish to obtain nuclear weapons, and have chilling plans for a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Shi'ite Muslims, the Sunday Times has reported.
History takes no sides, but seems to have a large library of ethnic cleansing of/by Muslims. Not an original thought by this ISIS group, but then, in March, they were just "JV" so what would one expect?
The list of ambitions was found in a manifesto-style document, which has 70 proposals. Other more bizarre plans included an aim to destroy Iran's famous caviar industry
No Iranian caviar? Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger
and damage its carpet industry by flooding the market with Afghan carpet makers.
With all due respect General, I'm to get the Afghans to give up their opium business and begin some kind of mass production of hand-made Afghan carpets? Are they to follow the Chinese model, replicating the Iranian design in knock off versions or keep with the history of the design and the making of the Afghan carpets?
The document was taken during a raid in March from an Isis commander's home by Iraqi Special Forces. Security officials believe it to be authentic and it is allegedly written by Abdullah Ahmed al-Meshedani one of the most senior members of the militant group.

One of the suggestions made was for Isis to offer the Russian Kremlin access to the gas fields it controls in Iraq in return for Russia giving up "Iran and its nuclear programme and hand over its secrets". In order for this to happen, it says that Russia would have to stop supporting Syria's president Bashar-al-Assad and back the gulf-states against Iran.

In order to further the militant group's plans for power and land to establish an "Islamic Caliphate" the document calls for Iran to be "stripped of all its power." The author of the document calls for the assassination of Iranian diplomats, businessmen and teachers, and incites followers to kill Iraqi military chiefs, Shi’ite officials and Iranian-backed militias as well.
All this from that "JV" team back in March?
The Sunday Times report says that military officials have known and feared that Isis want to obtain nuclear weapons. The Home Secretary Theresa May said in her speech at the Conservative Party conference that if Isis consolidates power in Iraq and Syria it would become “the world’s first truly terrorist state.” If that were to occur, May said, “we will see the risk….the terrorists will acquire chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons.”
Hummm these guys sound serious. Getting "nuclear secrets" from a nation yet to build a nuclear bomb. Second Hummmmm: that "We hate rugs" concept might really lead to something. However, when they threaten the caviar supply, the world will take notice and the UN will send some letter of being "overly concerned" at the overtake of the caviar industry. Do tell.
