Preferred term

chemical terrorism  

Definition(s)

  • Chemical weapons are just what the name implies—devices that use chemicals to inflict death or injury. Chemical weapons can be dispensed using bombs, artillery shells, aircraft sprayers, or even by missiles carrying hundreds of small “bomblets” that are spread over a large area when they are ejected from canisters.
