Özet
The events of 9/11 marked a turning point, and the world has entered a new era where there are highly capable global terrorist organizations acting like a single global network. In this new era, we are witnessing a new kind of arms race in which terrorist groups are racing to have nuclear weapons. The massive and instantaneous destruction of life and property that would result from detonation of a nuclear weapon makes this a priority for terrorists. Therefore, this paper aims to shed lights on the smuggling of nuclear materials and evaluates the possible response to this threat.
