Emanating from these movements will be the "Post-Modern Terrorists," who possess a "ripeness" to
threaten use of weapons of mass destruction (CBRNC). This article argues that the terrorist CBRNC
threat will emanate from nonstate groups operating under a veneer of religion and ethnic-racist hate.
These groups, plus the occasional cult, are the most likely candidates to threaten use of weapons of mass
destruction in a mass casualty-causing "super-terrorist act."

In a series of thoughtful case studies, the author makes a powerful case that the threat of weapons of mass
destruction (CBRNC) terrorism, though still not a high probability, has become significantly greater as a
result of recent developments in the fields of weapons proliferation and terrorism. Using examples such as
the Japanese police failure to recognize the threat posed by the Aum Shinrikyo cult because of its status
as an officially recognized religious group, the author clearly identifies the requirements for security
agencies and emergency services to be better prepared for CBRNC terrorism. Any country's capacity to
prevent such attacks or to cope with them if they occur is dependent on at least four factors:
well-resourced and effective counterterrorism intelligence, including experts in CBRNC technology and
proliferation; well-trained and -equipped forces to preempt such threats; well-trained and -equipped
emergency-response units; and much better education of political leaders and officials and the general
public about the nature of the threat.

The article analyzes the behavior patterns of terrorist individuals and organization using examples from

Foreign Affairs, 77, No. 6, November/December 1998, 80-94.
Although the United States takes conventional terrorism seriously, it is not yet prepared for the new threat
of catastrophic terrorism. The authors argue that the U.S. government must create unglamourous but
effective systems for accountable decision-making that combine civil, military, and intelligence expertise
throughout the chain of command; integrate planning and operational activity; build up institutional
capacities; and highlight defensive needs before an incident involving weapons of mass destruction
(CBRNC) happens. This strategy has four elements: intelligence and warning, prevention and deterrence,
crisis and consequence and warning, prevention and deterrence, crisis and consequence management, and
coordinated acquisition of equipment and technology.
