Today nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) terrorism is a serious issue. The threat of terrorist or rogue states acquiring and using NBC weapons has ushered in a new age of terrorism; an age that is far more dangerous than any previous period. It is an age of terrorism with which no one yet knows how to deal. This article reviews recent trends in terrorism, and identifies groups that have both the potential and the motive to use weapons of mass destruction. In addition, it discusses the design and implemention of effective measures to meet this threat, as well as the role of CISM teams in preparation for, and in the aftermath of, an incident involving NBC weapons.
如今，核、生物和化学（NBC）恐怖主义是一个严重问题。恐怖组织或流氓国家获取和使用NBC武器的威胁开启了一个恐怖主义的新时代；一个比以往任何时期都危险得多的时代。这是一个尚无一人知晓如何应对的恐怖主义时代。本文回顾了恐怖主义的近期趋势，并确定了既有使用大规模杀伤性武器的潜力又有动机的组织。此外，本文还讨论了应对这一威胁的有效措施的设计与实施，以及危机事件应激管理（CISM）团队在涉及NBC武器事件的准备阶段及善后阶段所起的作用。
