Yukiya Amano, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said nowhere was safe at a time when terrorists are scouring the globe for any sign of “vulnerability”.
He said: “Ensuring effective nuclear security is important for all countries, including those which possess little or no nuclear or other radioactive material.
“Terrorists and criminals will try to exploit any vulnerability in the global nuclear security system.
“Any country, in any part of the world, could find itself used as a transit point. And any country could become the target of an attack.”
His warning came as the IAEA stepped up their attempts to prevent a nuclear terror attack.
With the support of the group, more than 10,000 police officers, border guards and other security specialists have been trained since 2010.
The group has given 3,000 nuclear detecting instruments to countries across the globe and helped organise security at the Rio Olympics.
Nine countries across the world – China, India, Israel, France, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the UK and the USA – control more than 15,000 nuclear weapons.
