THE UN's nuclear watchdog is pressing for an urgent response to new terror threats since September 11, including the risk that Islamic extremists could build an atomic bomb.
The danger that terrorists could slam an aircraft into a nuclear power plant, or build an atomic "dirty bomb" using stolen radioactive material, are also high on the agenda of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting tomorrow.
