Al Qaeda capable of "devastating attacks": UN Feb 16, 2005 01:17:00 PM .UNITEDNA FES62 United Nations, Feb 16 (PTI) Al Qaeda has the ability to carry out "devastating attacks" and the sanctions are having limited effect as its members are still keen on acquiring chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons, a new UN report has said. "It is a matter time before a successful attack occurs," warned the report by the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against al Qaeda and Taliban released yesterday. The committee particularly expressed concern over 'elements' of weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of terrorists, saying they posed a major threat to the world. The committee's coordinator Richard Barrett said he did not think that al Qaeda could realistically get hold of a large bomb or missile with nuclear warhead. "Terrorists were much more likely to get hold of some components used in the production of weapons of mass destruction. Since they were not concerned about their own lives, if one of them got possession of a highly toxic or radioactive object and released it in the center of large city, it would have 'big effect'," he added. Steps should be taken to ensure that terrorists do not lay hand on portable anti-aircraft missiles and materials from which bombs can be made, the UN report said.
