WASHINGTON – New steps are urgently needed to broaden and accelerate work to keep
nuclear weapons and the materials needed to make them out of terrorist hands, according
to Securing the Bomb, 2007, a report released today.
“With al-Qaeda’s central command reconstituting in the mountains of Pakistan, we
urgently need a stepped-up global campaign to secure every nuclear weapon and every
significant cache of potential nuclear bomb material worldwide to stringent standards,”
said Dr. Matthew Bunn of Harvard University’s Managing the Atom Project, the report’s
author. “We need to make sure these stocks are locked down before thieves and terrorists
can get to them – and that they stay that way for the long haul.”
