VULNERABILITIES, TERRORIST AND BIOTERRORIST THREATS AND RISKS

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary society has been, is and will probably be dominated "urbi et orbi" (everywhere and for everybody) by conflicts expressed through violence, social confrontations, permissiveness, authority collapse, collapse of moralnorms. Paradoxically, although it is spoken and written much about terrorism and terrorist, there is still no complete and accepted definition of these terms, and the legal classification is approximate. The analysis of threats is an extremely important decisional asset when setting up plans of direct protection or objective security strategies or institutions suitable to become targets of violent actions, but today's intelligence community has not yet established a clear set of procedures and principles that constitute the expert main frame for a comprehensive analysis of threats and vulnerabilities. The analysis of risks, vulnerabilities and threats materializing probabilities is done in stages. Estimating integrated threat takes into account: availability, vulnerabillity, necessity, recovery, effects on target and the attacker risk. Threats, vulnerabilities and risks of ADMCBRM in situations of peace, crisis or war are many and one must be prepared including for medical countermeasures, in order to combat terrorism and counter-terrorism.
