Brief overview of chemical terrorism and its consequences

The article deals with chemical terrorism as a current security risk and its possible impacts on population and infrastructure. It also discusses aspects and implementation of biological, radiological, and nuclear terrorism. The 1995 attack by sarin in the Tokyo underground is briefly mentioned.
