Nuclear, biological attack ‘likely’: US commission
Terrorists are “likely” to use nuclear or biological weapons in the next five years, a US commission warned Tuesday, highlighting Pakistan as the weakest link in world security.

Without urgent action, “it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013,” the bi-partisan commission said in its report “World at Risk.”

The report, ordered by Congress and based on six months of research, warned the incoming administration of Barack Obama: “America’s margin of safety is shrinking.”
“There is a grave danger it could also be an unwitting source of a terrorist attack on the United States, possibly with weapons of mass destruction,” the report said.

Congresswoman Jane Harman, the Democrat heading the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence and Terrorism Risk Assessment, also downplayed the warnings.

“It’s time to retire the fear card,” she said in a statement.

The Congresswoman Jane Harman, the Democrat heading the Homeland Security Subcommittee does not assure me that we can feel safe under Obama as president! I don’t think this was meant to be played as a fear card as she said. We better not let our guard down for one minute! I would feel safe with someone other than Barack Obama which does not have any experience what-so-ever in running a State must less a Country!
