If such a bomb were to go off, it should be quick and straightforward matter to determine from where it came. And the consequences would be severe.

That works great so long as that particular country doesn't try to hide it's participation in such an action.
In otherwords, how hard would it be to alter some records and mix in a few different isotopes to cloak such an action with plausible deniability just before a nuke wipes out Tel Aviv?
