Terrorists To Detonate Crude Nuke And Kill 500,000: U.S. Should Attack Iran To Prevent Possibility Says New Report

Four US nuclear experts in a new report say the Obama administration must impose tougher economic sanctions against Iran and use warplanes and missiles against Iranian nuclear sites. They warn terrorist groups could obtain a nuclear weapon and use in the U.S. or obtain chemical or biological weapons for use against the U.S. They say four pounds of anthrax—in a suitcase—carried by a fighter through tunnels from Mexico into the U.S. are guaranteed to kill 330,000 Americans within a single hour if it is properly spread in population centers.

It is imperative for the United States to develop and implement a comprehensive nonproliferation strategy for the Middle East (defined by this report to include North Africa). Factors lending urgency to this need include the threat of proliferation in and by Iran, the vulnerable Syrian chemical arsenal, the challenges and opportunities posed by the Arab revolutions, the relatively frequent prior use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the Middle East, several regional states already possessing WMD, and a tense and unstable regional security situation. That's according to a new report entitled The Project on U.S. Middle East Nonproliferation Strategy by Co-Chairs: David Albright, Mark Dubowitz, Orde Kittrie, Leonard Spector, Michael Yaffe.
