SYDNEY, June 9. /TASS/. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said the Islamic State terrorist group is making effort to build a "dirty bomb." 

The terrorist group is collecting radioactive material from hospitals and research facilities in towns it has captured, says The Australian citing the Australian top diplomat.
