NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL WEAPONS

Despite the low risk of terrorists using nuclear weapons, there is still a great fear of this kind of attack taking place.This is unlikely for several reasons.

First, there is the myth of the "suitcase nuke," a nuclear weapon that could be carried by a man in a container similar to a large suitcase. Such weapons don't exist, at least not to any extent that terrorists could get their hands on one.To this day, for example, the media continues to chatter on about Russian suitcase nukes. This is a myth. The Soviet Union did have hundreds of portable nuclear weapons for use by engineers and commandos. These weapons would be of great interest to terrorists. But the reality was that, like similar American weapons, these "atomic demolition munitions" had yields under a kiloton. But the weapons were the size of footlockers, not suitcases.

The more likely, or theoretically possible, suitcase nuke was one based on the nuclear warheads in 155mm shells. These nuclear devices weighed less than fifty pounds and were small (less than six inches in diameter and less than a foot long).

A more likely nuclear weapon for terrorists is the "dirty bomb" (high explosives coated with radioactive material). Not because they would kill more people than chemical or biological weapons, but because anything associated with the word, "radioactive" is more terrifying to people. Terrorists are more interested in scaring you than killing you. The problem with dirty bombs is that they are more myth than reality.


Threat To India

As we are aware of ISI, Pak Army, Terrorist and Dawood Ibrahim nexus and their links with Pakistani Nuclear Programs a conclusion come that the Only target could be India. Because Pakistan have a feeling to take revenge of Bangladesh and he better understand that a weak Pakistan is more dangerous to India so India will not harm Pakistan in such an extent. In other words Pakistan is Blackmailing India on issue of War.

Pakistan has a developing biotechnology infrastructure located in plants such as Pakistan's National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (NIBGE), the Centre for Advanced Molecular Biology (CAMB) and the Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology (NIAB). Sources suggest that “terrorist” groups are functioning in the territory of Pakistan and this raises concerns over the adequacy of the implementation of national measures to prohibit and prevent BW development within Pakistani territory.

Pakistan have capability to manage and target its terrorist elements towards a specific target and it can equipped them with all type of Arsenal.
