1. A significant danger, he said, was that terrorists could obtain nuclear materials or weapons from rogue scientists in places like Russia. 2. But he said the danger also existed that terrorists would either obtain the materials to build a nuclear weapon or would succeed in buying or stealing nuclear weapons. 3. Clearly, if terrorists obtain the technology to launch a missile attack they will not hesitate to use it, those officials contend. 4. Could terrorists obtain the support they would need from countries that back their other activities? 5. Despite tighter safeguards in the past few years, a determined terrorist could probably obtain deadly anthrax bacteria, perhaps without leaving the country, specialists said Thursday. 6. He added that he was personally concerned that terrorists might obtain potentially deadly information from the government but urged a cautious approach to the problem. 7. Others worry that terrorists could obtain or build a crude nuclear weapon. 8. Terrorists may have obtained primitive cultures of anthrax from germ banks, labs or research facilities in the United States where security has been lax, experts said. 9. They have predicted that a radioactive bomb would be easier for terrorists to obtain than a nuclear device. 10. Weapons experts said such natural outbreaks were main ways that terrorists might obtain starter germs, or seed stock. |
