My Comment: Unfortunately, a number of terrorist organizations have direct ties to governments and their officials. If a country decides to produce nuclear material, and that nuclear material is found after an explosion in a city like New York .... well .... accountability has to stop somewhere.

Nuclear bombs do not kill people .... it is the people who produce and use them that do.
