World exaggerating global threat, says Blix

[dArKeR]

London - The world is overestimating the dangers of global terrorism, especially when compared with a possible greater threat posed by environmental risks, former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said on Sunday.

"I think we still overestimate the danger of terror," Blix told BBC television.

"There are other things that are of equal, if not greater, magnitude, like the environmental global risks," he said without being more specific.

Blix was speaking after British Prime Minister Tony Blair had given an impassioned defence of his decision to back the US-led war against Iraq given the threat of global terrorism.
