IS: We've Enough Wealth to Buy Nuclear Weapon; It Could Smuggle Weapon into US through Mexico

By this time next year, the Islamic State (IS) may have fulfilled the most feared scenario defense that officials can come up with -- terrorists with nukes -- the UPI website reports today (May 25, 2015).

In its online English propaganda publication, Dabiq, the Islamic group said it has accumulated enough wealth that it can buy a nuclear weapon and sneak it into the United States within the next 12 months.

The group laid out the concept in a self-congratulating article that outlines the nuclear possibility. The report states that the weapon could be purchased in Pakistan and smuggled into the United States via its southern border with Mexico.

National security experts have long feared such a worst-case scenario, as they say it would combine two of the most dangerous elements on earth at the present time -- hardline religious anarchists and a weapon that could achieve mass murder on a global scale.
