Security experts from around the world meeting here Monday warned of the threat of a terrorist nuclear attack, and called for renewed efforts to crack down on black market sales of nuclear and radioactive material.
“Nuclear terrorism is a global threat that requires a global response,” said FBI director Robert Mueller, as he inaugurated an international conference on nuclear terrorism, a component of the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT).
He described nuclear terrorism as “one of the most dangerous and deadly threats” that nations around the world face.
President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the initiative in July 2006 at the G8 summit of industrialized nations meeting in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
At the time the two leaders urged nations around the world to work to fight the threat of nuclear terrorism by working to better safeguard nuclear material and radioactive substances.
