Brussels Bombers Filmed Nuclear Researchers, Hoped To Build A "Dirty Bomb," Expert Says (nbcnews.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from NBC News: The brothers behind this week's Brussels bombings also spied on a top nuclear researcher and hoped to build a so-called "dirty bomb," an expert involved in a probe into ISIS threats told NBC News on Thursday. Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui were responsible for planting a hidden camera outside the Belgian researcher's house, according to Claude Moniquet, a French former intelligence official who was hired to investigate potential plots targeting Europe's nuclear sector. This camera produced more than 10 hours of film showing the comings and goings of senior researcher at a Belgian nuclear center and his family. "The terrorist cell ... naively believed they could use him to penetrate a lab to obtain nuclear material to make a dirty bomb," Moniquet, CEO of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center privacy consultancy said. The researcher worked at a center which stored a "significant portion of the world's supply of radioisotopes," according to the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative news organization in Washington, D.C. These isotopes are used in hospitals and factories around the world but can also be used to make a so-called "dirty bomb" -- a device that could spread radioactive material across a wide area.

The ones with fatal naivete ...

[Taco Cowboy]

After living in the West for several decade I gotta say that the Whites (majority of them) are very naive

You guys are so naive that you think all people are as good as you, that they are all, like you, want to give the best to others

No !

I am an immigrant from China - and in my days of working / studying I mixed with immigrants from other parts of the world, and in that process I get to understand the worldview of the people from all corners of the world

While most immigrants are appreciative of what the West has offered them, a group has another idea --- THEY WANT TO TURN THE WEST INTO THE WORLD THEY ARE FROM --- meaning, they want you guys, the Whites, to subjugate to them, to serve them, to be their slaves

They want you guys to convert to their kind of 'belief system'

They want to fuck your daughters just because it feels good, and they want the right to walk away from everything (without having to be responsible for anything) because it is THEIR WAY BACK IN THE PLACE THEY ARE FROM

I guess you know which group of people I am talking about --- and I knew those people back in the late 1970's

Yes, some 40 odd years ago those people already having that kind of thinking --- and all the while you White folks are carrying on with your naive thinking, that all the folks you have helped would help you back

Of course, as an immigrant I am ashamed to be in the same group of those motherfuckers (they are immigrants too)

At that time I was very annoyed with their kind of thinking ... but at least back then they didn't do whatever they are doing now --- except for fucking the white girls and then walked away (think of the biological dad of Steve Jobs)

  Now that they are doing the things they are doing, bombing, killing, whatever, I am angry

But what can I do?

I am only an immigrant - I am not a host

It is still up to you, the White folks, to do something

After all, the West is yours --- if you White folks do not protect your West who the fuck is going to protect it for you?

We will deal with Islamic terrorism without sacrificing our way of life.

LOL, really? I'm going to tell you a dirty little secret, lean in here close: the millions of "refugees" that you geniuses just let flood into your countries are absolutely all about sacrificing your way of life for you. They don't want your way of life, moron - they want your land, your houses, and your money. Sure, not all of them, but enough of them to make a difference. And while you're working your ass off to pay for their welfare they're home breeding like rabbits. Your grandchildren will be a minority, and it's not going to be pretty.

I'm already explaining to my children that the day will come soon when Europe will again ask us to help clean up their mess. We did a damned good job of it 70 years ago, probably leaving Europe in better shape than it's been in for the last 2000 years. But they didn't learn their lessons. Again.

Oh, and my kids? The other thing I'm explaining to them is that it's best to let Europe deal with their own shit this time. They can wallow in it for all I care. Enjoy it, and learn Arabic while you're at it - you're gonna need it.
