BRUSSELS - NATO has established a new division to deal with emerging non-traditional security threats from terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, cyber attack and so forth, the alliance said in a statement on Wednesday.
"The ESCD brings together various strands of expertise already existent in different parts of NATO Headquarters. Merging this work into one Division will give it greater focus and visibility," it said.
"The creation of the ESCD underlines the determination to move new, non-traditional security challenges to the center of Allied attention," it concluded.
