Terror in America

Blair warns of rogue nuclear strikes

BY PHILIP WEBSTER, POLITICAL EDITOR

TONY BLAIR gave warning yesterday of nuclear strikes from the next
generation of terrorists as he made plain that the war against terrorism
could be extended to the states that harboured them.
The Prime Minister and Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, said that the
world would be laying itself open to biological, chemical and nuclear attack
if it failed to counter the menace of terrorism now.

As both Houses of Parliament united behind the Government’s readiness to
join a military response to Tuesday’s outrages, Mr Blair said that the
action being prepared might change the present world order. In a clear
warning to countries such as Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, he said that
those who harboured or helped terrorists had a choice: either they could
cease their protection of the West’s enemies, or they would be treated as an
enemy themselves.

Mr Blair is known to be anxious that the Americans take their time to
identify the perpetrators of the attacks so that there can be no room for
criticism. Pointedly he praised Mr Bush and the US Government for proceeding
with care. “They did not lash out. They did not strike first and think
afterwards. Their very deliberation is a measure of the seriousness of their
intent.”

Mr Straw gave a warning that Britain must develop its defences against
copycat attacks. He called the assault on America a “deliberate act of war”
and cautioned against appeasement.

Using some of the most hawkish language heard from a British minister, he
said that “turning the other cheek” would not appease the terrorists but
lead to a still greater danger. He said that governments should draw lessons
from the experience of appeasement in the 1930s.
