‘Terrorists could use drone bombs’

Commercially available drones could be used by terrorists including the Islamic State to attack nuclear power stations, major events like the G7 summit or even the Prime Minister’s car, a new UK report has warned.

The Remote Control Project hosted by leading security thinktank Oxford Research Group looked at more than 200 drones and concluded that they will be used as “simple, affordable and effective airborne improvised explosive devices,” The Guardian reported.

“The UK government, police, military and security services will need to introduce countermeasures to reduce or mitigate the risk of commercially available drones being used for attack,” the experts warned. “The technology of remote-control warfare is impossible to control,” the report added.
