Top European security chiefs said on Wednesday a terror assault on Europe was almost inevitable, and the next attack on the West could be nuclear. David Veness, the head of Britain's anti-terrorist police, said a nuclear or biological attack was "sadly the next logical step", while the director of the European Union's police agency, Europol, said it was a question of "when and where" not "if", an attack would occur in Europe. "We are talking about attacks beyond macro casualties. This, I'm afraid, represents a step we can all anticipate," Veness said at a high-level international crime conference in London. "Since September 11, we need to add in the dimension of the CBRN (chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear) threat."
