I appreciate and agree with your sentiment, but that's not how a dirty bomb looks. It looks pretty much like a conventional IED. No fission takes place. The explosion just spreads radioactivity.
Agreed. The description does sounds like a dirty bomb, the article links to a previous article about a dirty bomb, but a nuke also falls under the description of a radioactive device. The picture represents a bit of hyperbole, a bit of my sarcastic humor and a bit of the real wishes of this terrorist group.
