MESOP THE EASTERN EUROPEAN JUNGLE – Gangs Tried to Sell Nuclear Material to Islamic State for Dirty Bombs
The FBI has quietly broken up several attempts by criminal gangs in Eastern Europe trying to sell nuclear material to the Islamic State, according to an investigation by the Associated Press. The material, including enough cesium “to contaminate several city blocks” in one recent bust, could have been used for use in dirty bombs. “We can expect more of these cases,” a Moldovan police officer told the AP. “As long as the smugglers think they can make big money without getting caught, they will keep doing it.” www.mesop.de
