Conference says nuclear threat is real

World experts warn of nuclear peril. Defence experts at a conference in Asia have said that there is a very real threat that terrorists might use dangerous weapons.

US Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz insisted that the events of September 11th should make people more concerned.

Experts warned at the meeting in Singapore that there was more danger from terrorists rather than nuclear proliferation among nations.

The conference called for governments to put in place more shipment controls to stop the transport of mass destruction weapons by terrorists.
