The Islamic State has long wanted to set off a dirty bomb. So has al-Qaeda. This may be nothing, or may not be jihad-related at all, but it is certainly something on the jihadist to-do list.
“Coast Guard: FBI investigating report of dirty bomb in South Carolina,” WCSC, June 14, 2017:
MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (WCSC) – The U.S. Coast Guard is telling WCSC-TV in South Carolina that both state and federal authorities are investigating a potential dirty bomb threat at the Wando Terminal Wednesday night.
According to witnesses on the scene, the terminal was evacuated and agents were seen taping off the ship.
Emergency officials report radiation has not been detected as they comb the vessel.
A dirty bomb is an explosive made with radioactive material.
One Coast Guard official told WCSC, “the Maersk Memphis is currently moored at Charleston’s Wando terminal which has been evacuated while bomb detection units from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies investigate the threat.”…
Hazmat and EMS crews are also reported on the scene.
Dave says
If radiation not detected then how can it be “dirty bomb ” ?!
Thomas says
If it is totally encased in a lead box, it would be extremly difficult to detect. Remember the inverse square law, double the distance and the exposure [intensity] is 1/4 the original intensity. So if the geiger counter is 100 feet away and the product is well shielded with lead, radiation would be very difficult to detect.
Think of radiation in terms of light. The further you get away from a light source, the dimmer it becomes. Conversely,the closer you get to the light source, the brighter it becomes.

Some day, they will plant , and explode the dirty bomb. Then, nothing will be the same, not even SJW hysteria will come to defend those “peaceful” followers of sharia. Of course this could, and perhaps would lead to use of a same kind of weapon, and then, our worst nightmares will come alive. The war between “faithful” and Kuffars will become war to extermination, all against all in a nuclear holocaust. Then, those who survive will see what kind of damage our lack of sense have done. In a world destroyed by power of the nature it self, with a nuclear winter, without food, water, electricity, without civilization, there will be no safe space, no gender studies, no feminism, no fat acceptance, no “black lives matter”… and no islam. Just a struggle for survival, and that only if there are any survivors left after the nuclear purge.
We have to be blamed, because the core of this death cult was in front of us, translated in to our languages, we had just to read it. But we did not, we have fall on the deception of their lies and on illusion of peace with death cult. Without moral, without family as a core cell of civilization, blinded by selfishness and lust, tied with lies of “humanism” and nihilism of post modern, we have dug our own grave.

Dang Shone, shake it off! There is a whole lot in this World to see and enjoy. Besides, you don’t have a crystal ball, so you are only guessing as to what the future will bring.
You could be right, but our heavenly Father is, Loving, Just, and Holy. Live to Glorify Him and enjoy Him forever.

To live and to watch as the world goes mad? To live happily ever after in hope that God will intervene and save us from ourselves? Surely I do not have the crystal ball,but I could see where this nonsense is heading. Christians are not suppose to live and let live. And yes, our heavenly Father is Loving, Just and Holy, but He also have gave us the free will. And our free will is the very thing that makes all this to happen.
And God have told us, trough the mouth of Apostle Paul in Galatians 1, but we in our free will have not listen.
Michael Ray says
The mystery of evil is deep. So too the great unfolding of the Living God’s concurrent beneficent love. As the seals are broken and the horseman come forth, let us lift up our eyes for our redemption draweth nigh. Let us work while we have the light, for the darkness is falling.
Robeaver says
Yes, like that helps.
Lon Spector says
The actual location of the dirty bomb will be in Baltimore. The perpetratiors will involve
3 groups. ISIS, Black Lives Matter, and North Korean Intelligence. They Will work in consort.
Their motivations will be to destroy America. It will be pulled off during the distractions of
the Trump impeachment. It will be in August. A big eclipse will occur on Aug. 21.
The attack on the Congressmen was a dry run for the attack. There are many trators and sleepers
embedded. In the U.S. The media (And cucked RINO “Republicans”) are part of this.
The Deep State will get what it wants and 1000’s will die.
Carolyne says
Are you a fortune teller? There are many of us who will not allow our duly elected president to be impeached. Polish up your crystal ball and take it to a fairground.
Bill says
The FBI is involved so we will never learn the truth about this. We will only learn information that will in some way damage President Trump and Congressional Republicans.
Carolyne says
When there is a terrorist event, and I’m not saying this incident is, the FBI says “We had him on our radar,” but did nothing. I am of the opinion that the FBI is and has always been a political organ gathering scandalous information on politicians, true or not, to keep themselves in power. Comey said there are 55,000 agents. What are they doing to safeguard our country and our freedoms? Nothing. They are fighting each other.

So far, no other news that I have seen, has reported this.
