Fifty
nations’ leaders in Washington will focus today on the suddenly urgent prospect
of terrorists getting their hands on so-called “dirty bombs.”
Their
nuclear summit was planned before last week’s jihadist attacks in Brussels and
the revelation that the perpetrators may have planned to gain access to, and
disperse, deadly radioactive materials.
The
fact that they could have done so in a number of ways – perhaps by kidnapping a
nuclear scientist, getting inside medical facilities or nuclear reactors – means we’re dealing with
literally ticking time-bombs.
We
can only hope that President Obama and the other summiteers will focus their
efforts on trying to devise realistic and effective measures for countering
such threats – and dispense with a fool’s errand that has long topped their
agenda: ridding the world of nuclear weapons, starting with ours.
