Chemical Warfare: chemical
agents used to attack an enemy both in war and
terrorism. According to
Wikipedia "Chemical warfare (CW)
involves using the
toxic properties of
chemical substances as
weapons. This type of warfare is distinct from
nuclear warfare,
biological warfare and
radiological warfare, which together make up
CBRN, the military acronym for nuclear,
biological, and chemical (warfare or weapons), all
of which are considered "weapons
of mass destruction" (WMDs)." |
