12.  Cyber-Terrorism
 Biological warfare
 Nuclear Threat
 Corporate Hijackings
Cyber-Terrorism: The world is getting flatter, transactions are held in cyberspace, everything
is going the electronic way. This new e-era is the next zone for wars and terrorist activities.
More and more terrorist are becoming tech savvy and have come to understood the true
potential for waging war in cyberspace. Hacking financial institutions, decrypting military
networks and gathering sensitive information has become the new theme for terrorists
Biological warfare: A terrorist group is likely to conduct an attack using biological weapons
by 2020, according to a report released Thursday by a CIA think tank. Acts of bioterrorism
would be "particularly suited" to these smaller and better-informed terrorist groups, indeed, the
bioterrorist's laboratory could well be the size of a household kitchen, and the weapon built
there could be smaller than a toaster.

13. Terrorist use of biological agents is therefore likely, and the range of options will
grow. The report also warns of the development of advanced biological weapons
agents and the possible development of chemical agents intended to circumvent the
verification regime of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Nuclear Threat: More and more countries are arming themselves with nuclear
weapons and terrorists could obtain a nuclear weapon. They are expected to
continue to attempt to do so over the next 15 years through theft or purchase,
particularly in Russia or Pakistan. The likelihood that a terrorist attack involving a
nuclear weapon occurs before 2020 cannot be ruled out.
Corporate Hijackings: Since the global economy is going the electronic way
another way for the terrorists to vent out crimes could be kidnapping and hijacking
the big Corporate. A countries economy is generally built on its corporate houses
and a hostile takedown of several of the large corporate houses could result in the
economy tumbling this threat is eminent and very real.

14. USA : Safest steps taken by the nation generally are very quick &
very effective
 Security checks in the nation will have quadrupled by then borders
& airports.
 People may have to carry baggage which are totally transparent.
 Vigilant regarding the steps or moves taken by other nations.
 Aims : Controlling Lebanon's & Iranian Hizbullah
Promoting success of Iraq & Afghanistan Government
Securing oil-fields in Arabian gulf & African region.

15.  Al-Qaeda : Regional war against America
aims at opening a jihadist triangle of terror beginning with
Afghanistan, Iran , South Iraq & ending with Southern Turkey will
aim at USA not achieving its objectives

16.  Agro-terrorism : Terrorist groups would attack the poorer so that
there will be a huger disparity between the rich & the poor .
 Done by introducing certain malicious plants & animal pathogens to
cause devastating disease in agriculture sector.
 Increase in bio-terrorism : Release of biological agents ( bacteria,
viruses) affecting & killing large number of humans , plants &
animals. Anthrax attacks, plague.
 Environmental terrorism : This would enhance Target would be the
natural resources - bombing of the mines, destruction of forests.
 Terrorism based on religion: it would certainly enhance

17.  Unity should become our strength
 If not controlled it may spread like an epidemic.
