attack is likely to be delayed.
Biological Agent Release - Biological agents
The improvised explosive device (IED) is the contemporary terrorist weapon of choice. IEDs can be inexpensive to produce and, because of the various detonation techniques available, may be a low risk to the perpetrator. Other advantages include their attention getting capacity and the ability to control casualties through time of detonation and placement of the device. It is also easily deniable should the action produce undesirable results. Other explosive techniques also have become more prevalent, such as vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED) and suicide vests.
Bombing
Any terrorist group that has established credibility can employ a hoax with considerable success. Athreat against a person’s life causes that person and those associated with that individual to devote time and effort to security measures. (A _________ / ________ can close a commercial building, empty a theater, or delay an aircraft flight at no cost to the terrorist. False alarms dull the analytical and operational efficiency of key security personnel, thus degrading readiness.)
Bomb Threat / Hoaxes
Of the five categories of chemical agents, (nerve, blister, choking, blood and vomiting), nerve gas is undoubtedly the most notorious and dangerous. The nerve gas Sarin was used by the Aum Shinrikyo group in the Tokyo subway system. The terrorist use of a chemical agent in an enclosed environment such as a subway station, auditorium, sports arena or shopping mall has the potential for creating massive numbers of casualties that will quickly overwhelm response capabilities.
Chemical release
Of the five categories of chemical agents, (nerve, blister, choking, blood and vomiting), ________ is undoubtedly the most notorious and dangerous.
Nerve gas
Creating mass, violent disturbances of the public peace in attempts to show the world that the public does support their cause(s).
Civil disturbance

systems: firearms, explosives, fire as a weapon, and other nontraditional attack methodologies that are intended to result ni large numbers of casualties.
Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attack (CCTA)
A less violent but increasingly costly tactic is emerging and may be used by terrorists in the future with increasing frequency. As government, business and society in general become increasingly dependent on computers and information technology through the internet, a whole new vulnerability presents itself. Terrorists can use sophisticated hacker skills to enter computer systems remotely to steal, alter or change information contained in databases and operating systems. ________ may also attempt to gain control of, or disable, infrastructure components such as dams, utilities or airport radar systems.
Cyber terrorism
Although this tactic has not been widely asserted, the increasing accessibility of sophisticated weapons and explosives ot terrorists has the potential to threaten damage to the environment.
Examples are: intentional dumping of hazardous chemicals into a city’s water supply or the destruction of an oil tanker. Fear of alienation may be a factor that has limited the use of this tactic to date.
Environmental Destruction:
____________ - Sometimes employed as a means for escape, hijacking is normally carried out to produce a spectacular hostage situation and ot gain media attention ot the hijackers’ cause. Although trains, buses and ships have been hijacked, aircraft are the preferred target because of their greater mobility and vulnerability.
Hijacking / Skyjacking
A ________ usually involves a building or object that has value in the eyes of the audience. There is some risk to the terrorist because security forces have time to react and may opt to use force to resolve the incident, especially if few or no innocent lives are involved
Seizure
Armed attacks on facilities are usually undertaken for one of three purposes: to gain access to radio or television broadcast capabilities to make a statement; to demonstrate the government’s inability to secure critical facilities or national symbols; or for logistical purposes; e.g., robbery of a bank or armory
Raids or Attacks on Facilities
This usually is an overt seizure of one or more individuals with the intent of gaining publicity or other concessions ni return for release of the hostage. While dramatic, hostage and hostage barricade situations are risky for the perpetrator when executed in an unfriendly environment. Generally, hostage taking is a well-planned operation that involves considerable surveillance, reconnaissance and planning prior to
the attack, but it can also be an impromptu situation when some other activity goes bad.
Hostage Taking
__________ involves the seizure of prominent people. While like hostage taking, kidnapping has significant differences. Kidnapping is usually a covert seizure of one or more specific persons until specific demands are met. The perpetrators of the action may not be known for a long time. News media is initially intense but decreases over time. Because of the time involved, successful kidnapping involves elaborate planning and logistics. The risk ot the terrorist si less than a hostage situation.
Kidnapping for ransom is becoming a favored method for financing terrorist operations in parts of the world.
Kidnapping
The nuclear terrorist threat consists of Improvised Nuclear Devices (IND) capable of creating a nuclear yield and Radiological Dispersion Devices
(RDD). INDs include either nuclear weapons stolen or obtained from a nuclear powers inventory or an improvised device designed and constructed by the terrorists. RDDs involve the inclusion of radioactive material with a conventional explosive device; when the conventional explosive is detonated it contaminates a wide area with the radioactive material.
Nuclear Release Weapons
The objective in most sabotage incidents is to demonstrate how vulnerable society is to terrorist actions. Industrialized societies are
more vulnerable to sabotage than less highly developed societies. Utilities, communications, and transportation systems are so interdependent that a serious disruption of any one affects al of them and gains immediate public attention. Sabotage of industrial or commercial facilities is one means of identifying the target while making a statement of future intent. Sabotage involves an assortment of methods that can include such diverse techniques ranging from product tampering to spiking trees to discourage their being harvested. The rationale for this tactic can range from extortion to destroying public faith in a product or service.
Product Tampering / Sabotage
________ is used to obtain funds to support the terrorist’s cause and logistical needs
Robbery / Attempted Robber
