This to me is the biggest use of a dirty bomb: Threatening the enemy or the populace you are trying to exploit with it. Even a believable threat of a dirty bomb (even if the people doing the threatening don't actually have one) could be used to this effect.

But it could also make you the recipient of as much military retaliation as the populace can muster...
