The Strategic Threat of Nuclear Terrorism
By Michael Jacobson
This afternoon, the Washington Institute hosted Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, the chief of Intelligence at the Department of Energy, as part of our 2008 Speaker Series, featuring senior US government counterterrorism officials. The speaker series is available here.
Mr. Mowatt-Larssen spent more than 2 decades in the CIA before assuming the DOE post, working on WMD-related issues, among many other assignments. At the Institute, he spoke about the threat of nuclear terrorism, focusing not only on al Qaeda, but also explaining how WMD-terrorism presents a broader, strategic threat.
Mr. Mowatt-Larssen offered his thoughts on how the US and its allies can most effectively confront this potentially grave threat. His full remarks are available here:
