A discussion on global proliferation dangers based on the new Carnegie study, Deadly Arsenals: Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Threats. The authors, Joseph Cirincione, Jon B. Wolfsthal and Miriam Rajkumar, will present their analysis—including new maps and charts from the book—and then will chair a discussion and debate of their findings with experts from the audience. Their presentation will focus in detail on the nuclear capabilities of North Korea and Iran, and the proliferation challenges stemming from the new U.S. relationships with India and Pakistan. The authors will also explain why they no longer use the term, "weapons of mass destruction."
