It is probably only a matter of time before Europe falls victim to a terror attack with a "dirty bomb" combining conventional explosives and radioactive material, according to Germany's interior minister, Reuters reported. In an interview with a newspaper released ahead of time on Saturday, Wolfgang Schaeuble said the spread of "dirty" material and weapons of mass destruction rendered the threat of attacks by international terrorists "extremely serious". "The question is probably no longer whether there'll be an attack with a dirty bomb, the question is when and where it's going to happen," he told Germany's Welt am Sonntag paper, citing reports from intelligence services. In remarks due to be published on Sunday, Schaeuble said, however, that there had not yet been any concrete evidence of militants attempting to acquire the dirty material.
