Iraq told the United Nations in a July 8 letter that the nuclear materials had been taken from a university in the country's **rth. It appealed for help to "stave off the threat of their use by terrorists in Iraq or abroad". Al Qaeda offshoot, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, took over swathes of Syria and Iraq before renaming itself the Islamic State on June 29 and declaring its leader caliph - a title held by successors of the Prophet Mohammad.
