UN sends experts to Rio to guard against ISIS dirty bomb attack
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. August 2, 2016, 11:17 AM (IDT)
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has loaned hi-tech radiation monitors – including personal detectors and portable scanners – for use on the ground throughout the Olympic Games opening in Rio Saturday, Aug. 6 – in case ISIS tries to set off a dirty bomb attack. Troops in hazmat suits were seen Sunday rehearsing a dirty bomb attack outside the Brazilian National Stadium. Dozens of suspected ISIS adherents were rounded up in Brazil in recent weeks, but counterterrorism experts in the West fear that the authorities have not been thorough enough to ward off the terror threat to the games.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
