Abstract

Attacks by terrorists armed with radiological, chemical and biological weapons, and even true nuclear explosives are assessed as credible by many analysts and scholars. This paper examines ways in which nuclear attacks might be staged, and comments on the effects of all four types of weapons used by terrorists against some military and some civilian targets. It appears likely that civilian and military targets have different vulnerabilities to each of the weapon types.
