The development of WMD by non-state actors poses a serious threat to peace and security. Countering the acquisition of WMD materials by terrorist groups and lone wolves presents unique challenges due to the widespread dissemination of technical knowledge through unconventional educational settings and the availability of equipment and materials.
It is crucial to have training and collaboration among federal, state, first responders, and technical communities to identify potential theft and diversion of WMD-applicable equipment and to investigate suspected illicit activities.
Education enables stakeholders to expand their knowledge of clandestine CBRN laboratories and teaches how to distinguish them from drug laboratories.
