‘Dangerous’ radioactive material stolen in Mexico

Comment by 1 Dragon

When I first saw this I thought about the story about ISIS in Mexico. While the media won’t tell the people about this and even try to down play it if you ask them about it, it is real. So, if ISIS is in Mexico, just a few miles from the US border and they have stated they will attack America, why not with a dirty bomb? Just remember, two years before 9/11/2001 bin Laden stated he would attack New York and made good on that. Can this be any different?

Truck carrying radioactive material reportedly stolen in Mexico

Fox News

A truck carrying potentially “extremely dangerous” radioactive material has been stolen in Mexico, the UN atomic watchdog said Wednesday.

The truck was transporting a cobalt-60 teletherapy source intended for medical use to a storage center when it was stolen on Monday in Tepojaco, near Mexico City, the International Atomic Energy Agency said, according to Agence France-Presse.

“At the time the truck was stolen, the source was properly shielded. However, the source could be extremely dangerous to a person if removed from the shielding, or if it was damaged,” the IAEA was quoted as saying.

Mexican authorities were searching for the truck Wednesday morning, according to the report.
