Explores the Nexus Formed When Malevolent Actors Access Malignant Means

Written for professionals, academics, and policymakers working at the forefront of counterterrorism efforts, Jihadists and Weapons of Mass Destruction is an authoritative and comprehensive work addressing the threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the hands of jihadists, both historically and looking toward the future threat environment. Providing insight on one of the foremost security issues of the 21st century, this seminal resource effectively:

Documents current trends in the ideology, strategy, and tactics of jihadists as these relate to WMD

Includes a section devoted to jihadist involvement with chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons

Explores the role of intelligence, law enforcement, and policymakers in anticipating, deterring, and mitigating WMD attacks

Provides an overview of nonproliferation policies designed to keep WMD out of the hands of jihadists

Conducts a groundbreaking quantitative empirical analysis of jihadist behavior

Elicits leading experts’ estimates of the future WMD threat from jihadists

Leading international experts clearly differentiate between peaceful Muslims and jihadists, exploring how jihadists translate their extreme and violent ideology into strategy. They also focus on WMD target selection and the spread of WMD knowledge in jihadist communities. Devoid of sensationalism, this multidimensional evaluation adds a heightened level of sophistication to our understanding of the prospects for and nature of jihadist WMD terrorism.
