were about 100 suitcase-sized Russian nuclear weapons missing and unaccounted for. The Russian secret intelligence agency, the KGB, is said to have acquired an unspecified number of small nuclear weapons, each weighing less than 75 pounds, that were never included in any post- Cold War inventory on global disarmament. After terrorist bombings in 1993 and 1995 in New York and Oklahoma City, President Bill Clinton said: ''As horrible as the tragedies were...imagine the destruction that could have resulted had there been a small nuclear device exploded there.'' But the Lawyers' Committee on Nuclear Policy said that while the U.S. recognizes that the use of a weapon of mass destruction - including a nuclear weapon - is a crime when perpetrated by an individual, it still refuses to recognize that it is also illegal when perpetrated by a state. A nationwide survey found that 72% of Americans believe there is a chance that there is a chance that terrorists could use a weapon of mass destruction to attack a U.

One year after the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City, the public is not particularly concerned about any kind of terrorism within the United States. (2/3 Americans said that they are not much or not at all worried about terrorism in public places.) Since the use of the first atomic bomb on Japan in World War II (1945), wartime fatalities as a percentage of population have declined significantly in the 50 years since the nuclear era began. A major catalyst for those results is due to the education in nuclear arms. There is still a major risk in the future of terrorist working with nuclear arms, but worldwide efforts are fighting to eradicate that problem. As shown in figure A-3 A-3I hope that you have enjoyed my report on nuclear arms. Through reading my report I strongly persuade you as the reader to have a big enough understanding to show whe...
