		First, successful mega-terror attacks using high explosives require a degree of technical expertise, discipline, and skill in planning and execution that not all terrorist groups possess, especially if they are to operate against states with effective and experienced security services.
		Third, high explosives remain the weapon of choice for mega-terror attacks, largely because the materials for WMD are often difficult to obtain, assemble, and -- in the case of chemical and biological weapons -- employ effectively.
		The risk of a successful WMD terrorist attack would be greatly magnified if certain states that possessed such weapons (e.g., Syria, Iran, Pakistan) were to provide them to terrorist groups.
