Cameron warns terrorists will use WHATEVER THEY CAN as fears mount over ISIS nuclear bomb

DAVID Cameron has warned world leaders terrorists will use "whatever materials they can get their hands on”.

Addressing leaders gathered to discuss the security of nuclear facilities, the Prime Minister said attackers would "like to kill as many people as they possibly could” to wage war against the West.

His chilling comments amid fears Islamic State jihadis could attempt to create a dirty bomb.

Britain and United States will take part in a joint exercise next year to prepare for any online attack against nuclear power plants and waste storage facilities.

The Prime Minister will also offer British expertise to other countries to safeguard their own civil nuclear installations.

Speaking in Washington, where Barack Obama is hosting the Nuclear Security Summit (NSS), Mr Cameron said: "We know that the terrorists we face today would like to kill as many people as they possibly could, using whatever materials they can get their hands on.

"So obviously the security of nuclear materials, for those countries that have nuclear programmes, is incredibly important and that's why this conference like previous conferences will make sure that we have proper security for those materials, not just in Britain — we are quite a global leader in this — but also all over the world.

"So it's a very important subject, there will be very important actions announced at this conference, and it's about making sure our world is safe and secure and we are not at risk from terrorists coming together with nuclear materials."

The recent Brussels attacks have raised fresh concerns about the prospect of nuclear terrorism.

Belgian media reported that two of the suicide bombers in the attacks, brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui, had video footage of the home of a senior official at a Flanders nuclear waste facility.
