Terror Groups Developing "Dirty Bomb"
[Telegraph-UK] Con Coughlin - Islamist terrorists are exploiting the political chaos in Pakistan in a bid to acquire nuclear material for a "spectacular" attack. At least one plot has been uncovered involving Pakistani-based terrorists planning to use nuclear material against a major European target. The most likely terror device using nuclear material is a "dirty bomb," where conventional explosives are fitted with radioactive material. Security experts believe the detonation of such a device in a city like London would provoke widespread panic and chaos, even though the area of contamination would be relatively small.
