Nuclear Security Worldwide May Become An Issue

The Times Online is reporting the arrest of a 32-year old man and his 25-year old brother on charges of providing a list of terrorist targets to North African Islamic radicals.  The 32-year old is said to have worked for the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland.  He was arrested by French secret service agents.

According to the article:

"Agents were said to have intercepted messages in which the physicist, a Frenchman of Algerian origin, had suggested targets in France.

"He is believed to have been in contact with members of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, an Algerian-based terror organisation that joined Osama bin Laden's network in 2007."

We are being very naive if we believe the activities of this man are an incident rather than an indication of a pattern.  For whatever reason, there is a group of people in the world who believe that killing people in order to set up a world-wide caliphate is a worthwhile pursuit.  Now is not the time to go wobbly on the war on terror.
