Dirty War

''Dirty War'' opens with a quote from Eliza Manningham-Buller, the Director general of MI5 of MI5: "''It will only be a matter of time before a crude chemical, biological, or radiological (CBRN) attack is launched on a major Western city''". ''Dirty War'' follows the journey of radioactive material, hidden in vegetable fats and oils containers, from Habiller, Turkey, approximately west of Istanbul, through Sofia, Bulgaria, onwards to Deptford, then to an East End of London Indian cuisine Take-out restaurant, and finally to a rented house in Willesden, where the radioactive material and other components are assembled into a dirty bomb. When the bomb goes off in the heart of London, next to the entrance to Liverpool Street station, the city's inadequate emergency services plans are put to an immediate test, with disturbing results for a population ill-prepared to understand or obey anti-contamination and quarantine orders.
