Nuclear Terror War Game Test For World Leaders

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 25 Maret 2014 | 23.12

World leaders attending a summit in the Netherlands have taken part in a war game to see how they would respond to a nuclear terror attack.

Prime Minister David Cameron, US President Barack Obama, and other heads of government attending the meeting faced the  "fictitious but realistic scenario" of a weapon of mass destruction falling into the hands of terrorists.

During a series of tests in The Hague they were asked to respond to a variety of events using a touch screen to record their answers.

The event has been compared with the 1980s movie WarGames, which starred Matthew Broderick as a hacker who accesses a US military supercomputer, almost triggering a nuclear war.

The organisers of the Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) said: "This is the first time that an interactive approach of this nature has been taken at such an extensive summit."

NSS spokesman Frank Wassenaar said they preferred to call it a "scenario-based policy discussion" rather than a war game.

The leaders were shown a video setting out the scenario, followed by a discussion on how best to respond.

This was followed by two more video updates, designed to reflect the fast-moving nature of the situation.

Mr Wassenaar said: "We had an enthusiastic reaction. It was quite innovative and not the convention in a summit like this. Usually the leaders of delegations just make a statement.

"The leaders debated freely. Of course, there is no good solution or bad solution."

The summit is aimed at preventing the kind of situation portrayed in the war game test.

Some 35 countries taking part in the summit, including the UK, agreed to allow teams of international experts to examine the effectiveness of their nuclear security measures.
