A document that is dated 30 November and sent to the ministry’s Centre for Prevention of Radiation in Iraq, described “the theft of a highly dangerous radioactive source of Ir-192 with highly radioactive activity from a depot…in the Rafidhia area of Basra province”.
To say this is distressing, knowing what any terrorist group would do with this nuclear material, is a distortion of reality.
The material is classed as a Category 2 radioactive by the International Atomic Energy Agency – meaning it can be fatal to anyone in close proximity to it in a matter of days or even hours.
So far there is no indication that the material has fallen into the hands of Isis – who do not control this part of southern Iraq – but the group has begun using chemical weapons.
A security official said the initial investigation suggested the perpetrators had specific knowledge of how to handle the material and how to gain access to the facility.
No locks were broken at the facility and there was no evidence of forced entry, making it appear to be an inside job.
ISIS sure has obtained an untold amount of military equipment and arms via the United States.

Probably the Iranians. The Iran nuc deal included allowing Iranians to train in nuc plants & in the nuc waste disposal facilities. I don’t know if it started, but I couldn’t believe it when I read it in the agreement. SMH
