The South East is one of the busiest areas for air traffic in the world.
Should terrorists hijack a jet and target Dungeness nuclear power station, only 80 miles from Brighton and Hove, the consequent fallout would kill and poison hundreds of thousands of people.
An unpublished report commissioned by Greenpeace, from nuclear expert Dr John Large, concludes Britain's nuclear plants are "almost totally ill-prepared" for an airborne terrorist attack.
This needs to be addressed directly by the Government. Should the UK join the US in attacking Iraq, the number of desperate terrorists will inevitably multiply.
A weapon of mass destruction could be as simple as a jumbo jet with an informed fanatic at the controls. You do not have to be a UN weapons inspector to see that.
