Nuke attack ‘a matter of time’

A BIOLOGICAL, chemical or nuclear terrorist attack on a western city is “only a matter of time”, the head of the British home security service, MI5, said yesterday.

Eliza Manningham-Buller said: “We are faced with a realistic possibility of a form of unconventional attack that could include chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN).

“It is only a matter of time before a crude version of a CBRN is launched on a western city.”
