DHAKA: Islamic State (IS) terrorists are plotting to carry out biological and nuclear attack on Europe warned NATO security experts on Wednesday according to reports by the Telegraph.

NATO security chiefs told participants of the Security and Counter Terror Conference in London that there is a ‘justified concern’ that Islamic State militants are actively working to obtain nuclear, radiological and biological materials.

According to the experts, IS operatives are also developing new ways to avoid security measures to carry out bombings. These methods include planting bombs in human bodies and hacking self-driving cars, reported the Telegraph, The Jerusalem Post publishes this report on Thursday.

‘We know terrorists are trying to acquire these substances,’ said NATO’s Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Emerging Security Challenges Dr. Jamie Shea.

It is also feared that IS has obtained a stock pile of Iraqi short range missiles.

Dr. Shea warned the conference that the threat is ‘likely to get worse before it gets better’.

Earlier this month, INTERPOL Secretary General Jürgen Stock underlined that, like other forms of terrorism, nuclear terrorism remains an ever-present threat, and must be at the forefront of collective security efforts.
