Sooner or later, we knew this was coming. With our borders wide open, how long will it be before such a weapon is unleashed on American soil. 

ISIS has stated that they are coming for us. Washington DC needs to take that threat seriously. Will they?

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria terrorists fighting Iraq's government forces and the Kurds living in the northern part of the country claim they successfully built a powerful “dirty bomb” using the 40 kilograms of uranium that they acquired while plundering a university campus in Iraq, according to reports on Tuesday. The deadly and ruthless Islamist group is believed to have made good on their threats since June when they produced the IED (improvised explosive device) using the highly radioactive uranium they stole from Iraq’s Mosul University.

At that time, ISIS Takfiri jihadists had captured the city while the U.S. and the West ignored the rise of what was once called al-Qaida in Iraq in June, according to Islamic terrorism analyst Jacob Goldstein, a former counterterrorism unit police officer. "The foreign fighters pouring into Iraq and Syria to wage jihad are also bringing with them technological expertise in several cases, so it's not wise to dismiss these reports of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) creation by the Islamist killing machine," he said.

According to reports the Takfiri fighters also posted threats on social media sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, boasting that they could use the device in London and cause severe damage as well as a sizable number of deaths and radiation poisoning. A Takfiri is a Muslim term to describe an Islamist who accuses another Muslim of apostasy.

The British intelligence service MI5 claim that one of Iraq's explosives experts, Hamayun Tariq, a homegrown terrorist from Britain, in 2012 left to join of Brits fighting for ISIS. British intelligence and law enforcement officials say Tariq has been training European and American ISIS fighters in Syria in bombmaking. He is one of those ISIS jihadists making posting messages and making threats on the Internet.

The Takfiri terrorists, who tend to be more brutal and deadly than other Islamists, had created and used chemical weapons against soldiers and civilians in Syria in August 2013. But the United States and the United Nations blamed the chemical weapons attacks on President Bashir al-Assad and the Syrian army for being behind the deadly chemical attacks.

According to an October Examiner news story, "The United States military and law enforcement scientists are investigating reports that the terrorist group, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are using a chemical weapon against the Iraqi military, according to Secretary of State John Kerry. The ISIS fighters are allegedly using the deadly weapon of mass destruction (WMD) chlorine gas. 'I am not in a position to confirm it, but I can tell you that we take these allegations very, very seriously,' Kerry told reporters during a press briefing."
