Download the assignment template to write your responses to the questions.
Locate sources to aid in writing your responses to the questions.
Answer the following questions: Detail, using course material (citing as appropriate), the worst-case scenario of agroterrorism against our agricultural and food industries. Which threat agents pose the greatest threat and why? What mitigation measures are in place to mitigate these risks?
What radioactive material killed Alexander Litvinenko in London in November 2006? How has the investigation developed between 2007 and 2016? Do the British authorities have a theory of who ordered Litvinenko killed?
In April 2010, President Obama said, “The single biggest threat to US security, both short-term, medium-term and long-term, would be the possibility of a terrorist organization obtaining a nuclear weapon.” How does this statement impact current U.S. National Security Policy? If you were President, what changes would you make to U.S. National Security Policy to reduce the likelihood of a terrorist organization obtaining a nuclear weapon?
China’s military doctrine considers the use of nuclear high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) attacks as part of a combined operation in what they call Total Information Warfare. Is this a weapon that terrorists could obtain to incapacitate the United States? Could nations use terrorist proxies to carry out this type of attack?
Experts disagree as to the threat from rouge nations with nuclear weapons (North Korea, Pakistan, Iran in the future, etc.) providing those weapons to non-state actors. Do you think this is a concern, or are nation-states unwilling to cross this line? Why is attribution post-attack so important? Submission Guidelines
