Traditionally, resources on terrorism and counterterrorism tend to
focus on the social, behavioral, and legal aspects of the subject,
with minimal emphasis on the scientific and technological aspects.
Taking into account these practical considerations, the second
edition of Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism
discusses the nature of terrorism and the materials used by
terrorists. It describes how intelligence professionals and law
enforcement personnel can detect and destroy these materials, and
how they can deal with terrorist groups. This volume begins by
introducing the shift in analysis of terrorist attacks after
September 11, 2001 and summarizes selected case studies. It
discusses the origin and nature of terrorism and the factors
involved in diplomacy. Covering a broad range of topics, the book
examines: Aerosol dispersion of toxic materials Bioterrorism and
the manufacture, detection, and delivery of biological agents
Agricultural terrorism Nuclear terrorism and nuclear weapons
systems, threats, and safeguards Chemical terrorism, including
manufacture, detection, delivery, and decontamination
Cyber-terrorism Personal protective equipment The role of
government at federal, state, and local levels The role of
international agencies and their resources, capabilities, and
responsibilities The National Infrastructure Protection Plan As
terrorist activities increase globally, it is critical that those
charged with protecting the public understand the myriad of ways in
which terrorists operate. While we cannot predict where, when, and
how terrorists will strike, our vigilance in staying abreast of the
terrorist threat is the only way to have a fighting chance against
those who seek to destroy our world.
