Edinburgh, Nov.21 (ANI): The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has warned that terrorists might detonate a "dirty bomb" in a major city sooner than later.

William Nye, Home Office director of counter-terrorism and intelligence, told delegates that al-Qaida is actively seeking high-grade uranium and plutonium in order to detonate a "dirty bomb" in major cities such as London or Washington.

"As the terrorists look for the next spectacular attack, we know that al-Qaida in Iraq is calling on nuclear scientists to join in the jihad. Combating this threat requires international cooperation," The Scotsman quoted Nye, as saying.

Peter Jenkins, Britain's chief representative to the Vienna-based IAEA, told the conference that while it is not known if terrorists have acquired nuclear materials, the threat is real.

"Nuclear terrorism has been recognised as a genuine threat since the 1970s, and we have evidence that al-Qaida has been trying to acquire material since the 1990s. But since 9/11 the risk has become a widespread international concern," Jenkins said.

Steven Aoki, a counter-terrorism official at the US Energy Department, called for improved scrutiny of radioactive material used for industrial and academic purposes, and to prevent it from falling into the hands of terrorists.

"This is a major problem with a potentially large amount of radioactive material out there and unaccounted for. We need to get hold of it and store it securely," Aoki said.
