Nuclear terrorism: A disheartening dissent

Article Abstract:

Large private groups such as al-Qaeda or Aum Shinrikyo probably have the resources for the acquisition of nuclear materials and construction of weapons, with facilities for research and development activities, including detonation of high explosives. Aum Shinrikyo did not act with the approval of the Japanese government, and the government did not even react after the group's first open-air-tests of its chemical weapons.
