 NTI: Radiological Terrorism Tutorial: Terrorists and Radiological Terrorism
Radiological terrorism is a more attractive option than chemical, biological, or nuclear terrorism because of the relative ease with which a radiological weapon can be made and used.
Radiological terrorism, on the other hand, involves using a radioactive source by itself, packaging radioactive material with a conventional bomb, and exploding it in a public area or attacking an already existing nuclear facility.
Making weapons out of chemical and biological materials also requires a fair amount of technical and scientific expertise.
