Global risk of WMD attack as high as 50%, experts say

Washington (Platts)--22Jun2005


Global risk of a WMD attack in the next five years is as high as 50%,
according to a survey of experts released by Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) today.
The experts' average estimate of risk of a nuclear attack in the next five
years is about 16%, Lugar said in the report. "The unique survey of 85 top
international scholars, policy makers, diplomats, and technicians probed the
attitudes of experts on both proliferation threats and international
responses," Lugar's office said in a press statement. The report is available
