I did not know that Islamic Terrorists had used a crude nuclear ‘dirty bomb’ in the mid 1990’s in Russia – but they did. And it was the beloved Chechens that so enamored Litvinenko and Berezovsky against mother Russia behind that attack.

Based on a tip she received from Chechen rebel leader Shamil Basayev, a reporter for Russia’s Independent Television Channel found a hidden package containing radioactive cesium-137 buried under some leaves in Izmailovsky Park, a popular, public park located in the Northeast region of Moscow. According to the CIA, although the package weighed 32 kilograms, there was probably only a small quantity of cesium inside.
Cesium-137 is not fissile. It cannot be used to make atomic bombs. However, it is highly radioactive. It is a strong gamma emitter and is often used in medicine as a source of radiation for computer tomography equipment and in industrial fault detection equipment. However, if a radioactive material, such as cesium-137, is exploded with conventional explosives it can contaminate a large area and pose a health risk. Such a “dirty bomb” is a low-tech alternative in the arsenal of radioactive weapons.

H/T Article Devil. So the Chechens were able to get their hands on Cesium-137 and create a potential dirty bomb over a decade ago and plant it in the middle of a major city. What makes us think they cannot do the same today in London?
