Armed only with boxcutters, the 19 al-Qaida hijackers on Sept. 11, 2001 killed 3,000 people and caused hundreds of billions of dollars in damage to New York City, the Pentagon and the global economy.
This toll pales in comparison with the damage that would be caused by a "nuclear 9/11" -- a terrorist state or group using a nuclear weapon against the United States or its allies. Detonation of a single small nuclear weapon in a U.S. city could kill more than 500,000 and cause over $1 trillion in damage.
Orde Kittrie, professor at the College of Law at Arizona State University, served in the U.S. State Department for 11 years, including as the Department's senior attorney for nuclear affairs. In that capacity, he negotiated five nuclear non-proliferation agreements between the United States and Russia and served as counsel for the U.S. Government's sanctions and other responses to the 1998 Indian and Pakistani nuclear tests.
