Terrorist Goals
Create disruption and fear in their targets by inflicting: Mass causalities Loss of critical resources Disruption of vital services
The desired end result is Individual and mass panic

Madrid Train Bombings
On March 11, 2003 multiple explosive devices were set off in a coordinated attack targeting the Madrid rail system. The devices were set
to go off during rush hour.
The blast was attributed to a cell of Moroccan terrorists.

Terrorist Weapons of Choice
Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear EXPLOSIVES! Also known by Acronym CBRNE
Visual 8.23
Chemical Weapons
Any agent with a toxic effect on the body.
Chemical weapons first used on a large scale in World War I
May specifically designed as a weapon or improvised chemical weapon
Considered a Moderate Risk
Visual 8.24
Industrial Chemicals
Availability and potential impact makes them a potential terrorism target. Remember Bhopal India?
2400 dead due to a leak of methyl isocyanate.

Example: Chlorine Rail Car Leak

Naturally Occurring - Ricin
Ricin is derived from the beans of the castor plant.
Castor plant grows naturally through much of the world
Very, very toxic, but not a good mass casualty weapon.
Visual 8.27
Man Made Toxin - Sarin
Human-made chemical warfare agent classified as a nerve agent.
It is part of a class of chemicals called Organophospates. (along with many pesticides)
Sarin is a clear, colorless and tasteless liquid that has no odor.
It is not a GAS, but an AEROSOL (very fine droplets that stay suspended in air)
Can be ingested (food and water) and/or inhaled.

Biological Weapons
Any living organism, or component of same, capable of causing death, disease or biological malfunction.
Bio-Warfare goes back to ancient times.
High threat There are many organisms that
produce illness Potential for self-propagation Natural susceptibility to disease
Visual 8.31
Biological Weapons
Targets: People, animals, crops Routes of exposure: Inhalation, ingestion,
absorption May take days or weeks to be confirmed. May spread far beyond initial contamination point. Potential for epidemic with very small initial
quantity.
Visual 8.32
Potential Bio Weapon: Anthrax
Anthrax is a bacterium that forms spores which is a cell thatIs dormant but may come to life with the right conditions.
Anthrax occurs almost everywhere in nature, though not all strains are dangerous to humans.
Anthrax is hardy, occurs in three types and has had an extensive history of weaponization.
Visual 8.33
Potential Bio Weapon: Smallpox
This is a serious, extremely contagious and sometimes (30%) fatal infectious disease.
Was declared globally eradicated in 1980.
The virus is known to exist only in laboratory stockpiles.
Visual 8.34
Radiation Dispersal Devices
A device designed to spread radioactive material over a wide area. IT DOES NOT NEED TO EXPLODE
Its primary destructive power would be panic, not radiation damage.
Radiological materials readily available. Sources are used extensively in hospitals and industry, for a wide variety of purposes.
Considered moderate to high risk
Visual 8.35
Nuclear Weapons
Very powerful relative to “conventional” weapons: Many casualties Very large area affected Long-term health
effects
Considered relatively low risk Difficult to obtain and
maintain
Visual 8.36
Nuclear Weaponscontinued
Effects:Massive explosion blast (shock wave)Intense heatIntense radiation near detonation siteDeath from trauma or significant radiation sickness from direct ionizing radiation and from fallout.
Visual 8.37
Explosives Incendiary Devices
Used to initiate combustion Easy to make Easy to use Considered high risk/low impact A favorite of the Animal Rights crowd
Visual 8.38
Improvised Explosive Devices
Still the weapon of choice by terrorists Easy to obtain, disguise and hide Can be built in all shapes and sizes Biggest bang for the buck! THIS IS THE BIGGEST THREAT YOU FACE!
Visual 8.39
Sources of explosive material
Industrial explosives like Dynamite, or Blasting Gel
Military explosives like TNT, Semtex, or C4.
Improvised explosives, manufactured from readily available chemicals like Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil. There are many potentially explosive chemical
mixtures that can be created out of commonly available materials
Visual 8.40
IED’s
May use nails, nuts/bolts etc… to improve lethality. Each Fragment is launched like a bullet!
May employ the use of secondary devices. Intended to go off after the initial charge Intended to target the emergency responders.
This could be you!!

CERT Guiding Principles
Team safety is the number one priority. Always do a thorough size up.
What are the dangers? What are team capabilities? What are team limitations?
Visual 8.55
Preparing for Terrorism
Assembling a disaster supply kit. Identify a safe room and meeting place outside of
the home or workplace. Develop a family communication plan. Learn shelter-in-place procedures.
Visual 8.56
Shelter-in-Place Procedures
Shut off ventilation system. Go to safe room with disaster supply kit.
Duct tape plastic sheeting over openings where outside air can come in.
Seal with duct tape other areas where air can come in.
Listen to battery-powered radio for all clear.

Self-Care During Terrorist Incidents
At the incident: Limit exposure time. Increase the distance from the hazard. Add shielding.
Visual 8.59
Basic Decontamination Procedures
1. Leave the contaminated area.
2. Take decontamination action. Remove everything. Wash hands before using them to shower. Shower or flush with cool water. Blot dry.
3. Report for decontamination.
