Should we be worried? Is this as big of a threat? Your thoughts?

FBI has foiled four attempts by gangs to sell nuclear material to ISIS

Criminal organizations, some with ties to the Russian KGB's successor agency, the FSB, are driving a thriving black market in nuclear materials in the tiny and impoverished in Moldova.

Yes SCPO David Lockwood, I suspect this is a big threat. Most likely from a dirty bomb.

These arrests took place between 2011 and 2014. I'm more curious why the details are being released to the public now.

This is definitely a concern. The fact that we've foiled 4 attempts is great, but speaks to a larger issue with black market nuclear material.
