4-1-16 Express.co.uk reported last summer how ISIS was preparing a new push to seize territory in the province of Balochistan, which borders Afghanistan and Iran.
The area is widely-known to be the centre of Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme, with controversial underground testing of atomic explosive devices in the 1990s.
Middle East terror experts warned at the time that the extremist group could be close to obtaining a 'dirty' bomb. http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/657395/Islamic-State-nuclear-warning-terror-group-obtain-atomic-device-from-Pakistan

The two countries announced a plan to build a massive nuclear power plant in Sudan with Chinese technical and fiscal assistance. The reactor will generate electricity as well as conduct scientific research and encourage the use of atomic energy in Africa. http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/24/sudan-is-heavily-infiltrated-by-isis-still-plans-to-build-nuclear-reactor/#ixzz4DmD4EtZe

5-26-16 industry experts believe that the homegrown reactor Hualong One, a type of third-generation technology, will be used for the reactor.
"Hualong One is most likely to have been chosen for Sudan," said Chai Guohan, chief engineer at the Ministry of Environmental Protection's Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center.
"China is looking to popularize this nuclear technology at home and abroad," Chai said.
China is home to the world's largest number of nuclear reactors under construction and has made significant inroads into global nuclear markets, including Britain and Argentina.
CNNC has entered agreements with Argentina to construct two nuclear plants in the country, while CGN, another domestic energy firm, partnered with Electricite de France to build three reactors in the U.K.
Sudan has been plagued by power shortages in recent years and is seeking two 600-megawatt pressurized water reactors to meet the burgeoning demand for electricity, with the construction of the first one slated to begin in 2021.

Fourth and most dangerously, the hundreds if not thousands of foreign fighters from the Arab world and Western countries in ISIL’s ranks, some of them with solid knowledge including in chemical, physical and computer sciences, makes ISIL special. A full assessment is still very difficult, as only a limited amount of information on the backgrounds of the fighters is publicly available. Notwithstanding that, it is clear that ISIL attracts growing numbers of young foreigners daily from all levels of society. Clearly reported cases show that ISIL actually has already acquired the knowledge, and in some cases the human expertise, that would allow it to use CBRN materials as “weapons of terror”. http://www.nato.int/docu/Review/2015/ISIL/ISIL-Nuclear-Chemical-Threat-Iraq-Syria/EN/index.htm

10-8-15 According to the AP, “the latest known case came in February this year, when a smuggler offered a huge cache of deadly cesium — enough to contaminate several city blocks — and specifically sought a buyer from the Islamic State group.”

4-3-16 British Prime Minister David Cameron warned world leaders Friday that Islamic State terrorists are currently developing plans to fly drones over the skies of Western countries and spray nuclear material in an attack.
Cameron revealed his concerns to other world leaders in a Friday Nuclear Security Summit meeting, in which he emphasized ISIS could potentially end up with nuclear material in its hands. The danger, he said, was “only too real.”
That danger is not simply an outlandish hypothetical. Already, footage has shown ISIS militants using drone technology. Pairing drone tech with nuclear material is a scary enough scenario that world leaders are mapping out war games in response, The Telegraph reports. http://dailycaller.com/2016/04/03/british-pm-isis-terrorists-working-to-drone-america-with-nuclear-material/#ixzz4DmPwBJiW

Isis has used the latest issue of its propaganda magazine Dabiq to suggest the group is expanding so rapidly it could buy its first nuclear weapon within a year. https://andrewtheprophet.wordpress.com/2015/05/23/the-iraqi-horn-isis-to-go-nuclear-dan-8/
