Abstract:

It is a scary to think about the implications of terrorists or insurgents armed with weapons of mass destruction WMD that could make the events of 911 look like a pinprick.1 However, independent, non-state-aligned terrorist groups are no match to a state sponsor of terror that has the geopolitical clout of being the worlds fourth-largest supplier of oil, such as Iran.
