Follow-up: Indonesian Islamic State Militants Captured While Building Radioactive ‘Dirty Bomb’ | |||||
2017-08-27 | |||||
![]() The original police report about the arrest of five suspects claimed they were building conventional chemical bombs, but now Rooters’ sources say the gang was extracting thorium-232 from household items and hoping to "cook" it into deadly uranium-233 with microwave ovens or a medical X-ray machine. The radioactive material would then be mixed with the current terrorist explosive of choice, TATP or "Mother of Satan," creating a "dirty bomb" that would spray the blast area with radioactive material. According to Indonesian police, the bully boyz believed it would take about three weeks to produce a dirty bomb. They were about one week into the project at the time of the raid.
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... . The suspects reportedly aspired to bomb the presidential palace in Jakarta and a police headquarters building, among other targets. The U.S. State Department’s official terrorist designation of JAD describes it as an umbrella organization formed in 2015 from "almost two dozen Indonesian Death Eater groups that pledged allegiance to ISIS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... ." They have carried out deadly attacks in the past. Rooters notes that the leader of Jamaah Ansharut Daulah is an Indonesian national named Bahrun Naim who is currently believed to be working from Syria. Naim is listed as the author of an Indonesian-language bomb manual that was literally named "Nuclear for Dummies" (misspelled "Nuclear for Dummy" in the version distributed by Naim’s now-defunct blog).
"Mastering weaponry is essentially every Moslem’s duty. This paper, we hope, also can motivate the Moslem mujahideen to learn nuclear science easily and apply it," reads the introduction to the manual, according to Rooters.
Hayes also speculated that efforts to "cook" thorium-232 in a microwave might produce enough radioactive byproducts to inflict "painful and rapid death" upon the bomb-makers,
Also not comforting: Rooters reports two of the suspects tossed in the calaboose Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! by Indonesian police were migrant workers who were recently deported from Singapore and Hong Kong for posting radical Islamist material online. They evidently spent about a month in a "deradicalization shelter" before hooking up with the other turbans involved in the dirty bomb plot.
