| DABIQ: ISIS Could Transport Nuke from Nigeria into U.S. through Mexico |
| 2015-06-05 |
| [Breitbart] The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), in the latest edition of its propaganda magazine, indicated that it could purchase a nuclear weapon in Pakistan, take it to Nigeria, and then smuggle it into the U.S. through Mexico by using existing trafficking networks in Latin America. In an op-ed article published in the ninth edition of ISIS' Dabiq magazine released in late May, the jihadist group claims it could transport a nuclear device in the same way illicit drugs are smuggled into Europe through West Africa, adding that Boko Haram's presence in Nigeria could facilitate the transaction. The Nigeria-based Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, pledged allegiance to ISIS in March. In March, Gen. John Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command (Southcom), warned that Islamic terrorist groups such as ISIS could exploit the capabilities and knowledge of Latin American smuggling networks to infiltrate the U.S. through Mexico and possibly bring in weapons of mass destruction. |

| #13 You don't have to smuggle a nuke INTO the US to cause massive damage and economic injury to the US. A sufficiently large nuke, 1 meg or so, detonated just inside the 3-mile limit, slightly outside the line the Coast Guard uses to start screening vessels, near LA, San Fran (I might cheer for a moment or so on that one), NY, Miami, or New Orleans, would cause enormous physical damage as well as require the mass evacuation of large numbers of people and render a large metropolitan area uninhabitable. I firmly believe that any nuke possessed by Iran, ISIS, Hamas, etc., would be used on the US not on a neighbor. Those guys are nuts not stupid and they understand fallout plumes...with Mekkah and Medinha in the path of the result of a nuke attack on Israel. |

| #11 Mullah, Insty's standard responsse seems to fit here. "Predictive analysis"? Where's the graft in that? |

| #10 Yeah, my engineering and construction schooling kind of drilled 'predictive analysis' into us. I don't know if it's taught anymore as it might be 'imbalanced' toward some protected class of society or fattening or something. |

| #9 This reads to me like a false story planted by Asian drug smugglers hoping to shut out their competition in Latin America. Who warns their target? |

| #8 Jeez, I'm getting pessimistic in my old age.Posted by Mullah Richard No, you're just 'white boarding' possible motives and outcomes. It's called 'predictive analysis' and it is one of the lost arts of the intelligence community. Far too much time spent on reporting, not enuf spent on analysis, thinking, postulating, war-gaming, etc. Of course if outcomes are already decided, and no one up the chain-of-command wants your assessment, PPT production is a excellent method of occupying one's time and not bothering others. |

| #7 I still wonder at times that a ISIL/AlQ nuke detonation, or Iran nuking Tel Aviv/Riyadh, or NoKor dropping one on SoKor/Nippon, or any 'dirty' bomb going off here domestically wouldn't be the trigger for O® and/or his minions to suspend the constitution (more than they have already) and declare that 'No Change' is needed in 2016 'for the good of the people'. It's like our administration is just trying to make this scenario (or something similar) happen. Jeez, I'm getting pessimistic in my old age. |

| #6 ...A friend of mine has worked for many years as a strategic analyst, and he was asked a few years ago about this threat. His answer - very carefully phrased - was, "One should consider that there are very good reasons why it hasn't already happened." Not something to be blown off - but nowhere near as simple as it sounds...or as simple as some people think. Mike |

| #5 (a) First they've have to get a nuke. (b) If they got one, they'll use it on Iran, not USA. Hezbollah, on the other hand... |

| #4 Or they just could label it as cocaine and bring it through Miami. |

| #3 I think it is time, past time actually, to announce to the world and all the pissant little trolls that we will take them at their word and react accordingly. If you say you're going to nuke us, then fine say that and you will cease to exist as an organization, culture, state as appropriate. No muss, no fuss. threats are treated as deeds...rinse and repeat as necessary. |

| #2 So IOW, the ISIS/ISIL is overtly threatening DOMESTIC NUCLEAR TERROR [Nuke-WMD/CBRN(E)?] agz the US. * See also RELATED WORLD NEWS > [WND.com] ISIS SCHEMES TO SNEAK NUKES INTO THE US. Iff History is any measure, prob safe to say that any such event(s) agz CONUS by the ISIS/ISIL Hard Boyz is highly likely to take place while US attention is seriously diverted elsewhere, E.G. SOUTH CHINA SEA. * BIGNEWSNETWORK > [VOA News] WILL SOUTH CHINA DISPUTE LEAD TO WORLD WAR? At least for the time being, the Bammer + aligned Anti-US OWG Globalists desire for Russia, China + Iran, Other? to rise to Co-Superpower, MilPol/Geopol "parity" wid the future Ex-Sole Superpower-soon-to-be-Co-Superpower US. "PARITY, N-O-T INFERIORITY" TO THE USA = infers that the destruction of the OWG Mighty USSA = OWG Weak Global USRoAmerika is NOT desired or intended for now. LIMITED WAR, as we are already seeing in the ME. Unlike Iran in the ME, CHINA has already long-possessed ICBMS capable of striking CONUS, hence a US-CHINA LIMITED TACTICAL NUKE WAR or even LIMITED STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WAR WORST-CASE SCENARIO(S) in East Asia andor IOR,South Asia cannot be ruled out. Once SHTF, US-N-Only-US "Retreat/Pullback is World Peace" [+ OWG-NWO], Anti-US US Globalist POTUS Obama's abject priority will be to avoid any sort of Major or NucWar, espec agz China + even Russia. IFF CORRECT, THE QUESTION BECOMES HOW MANY GEOPOL CONCESSIONS WILL OBAMA MAKE TO AVOID WAR, + WHAT TYPE OR KIND OF CONCESSIONS??? The Amerikan people will be happily told the Bammer kept the US "out of war", etc. - what they will NOT be told is that it was planned many years + decades before. IFF THERE IS NO "STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS" IN THE US FOR FELONY MURDER, IS THERE ALSO FOR HIGH TREASON??? |

| #1 General Kelly, could? or will? We need a little more clarity on that. |
