Volume 56: Defence Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism
Abstract

Since the end of the Cold War the international system has seen the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Although most non-state armed groups (NSAGs) are unlikely to attempt to access WMD, a certain subset of NSAGs – terrorists – may find such an attack appealing. This chapter outlines the threat posed by NSAGs who aspire to use WMD and considers the possible responses to such an act.
