Nuclear threat from ISIS is very real - Obama and Cameron play imaginary war games

The nuclear threat from ISIS is a very real scenario because security officials are apprehensive that the Islamic State is plotting to use drones to spray deadly nuclear waste over British cities. Since the threat is considered to be real enough, David Cameron and Barack Obama held a ‘war game’ session on how to respond to such an attack that could kill thousands and leave the target town or city uninhabitable for years.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 1 April 2016.

It is common knowledge that drones can be purchased quite easily on websites such as Amazon and there was already evidence of IS trying to use them.
Prime Minister David Cameron cautioned that the terrorists would want to kill as many people as they possibly could, using whatever materials they can get their hands on. Speaking before the war-games dubbed as a ‘doomsday scenario’, The Prime Minister added that many summits are about dealing with things that have already gone wrong and that we are trying to put right. But, this Nuclear Summit is about something we are trying to prevent.
At a nuclear terror summit in Washington, world leaders had conducted a planning session, complete with TV footage of fictitious news broadcasts, to prepare for a drone attack. In the scenario, terrorists managed to steal nuclear material from a health facility and smuggle it into Britain and other Western countries. Some was detected by the intelligence agencies but other consignments got through.
The toxic material was apparently procured by jihadists on the highly encrypted ‘dark web’ after being stolen from the health site. Subsequently, drones – similar to those used to dust crops – were used to spread the lethal material. The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that American commando units have been trained to seize and disable nuclear or radioactive bombs.
