WMD

WMD - Acronym (Weapon of Mass Destruction): An implement of war utilized to inflict mass casualties. These weapons typically fall into three categories: Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear. Chemical Weapon - Using a caustic, non-biological agent to harm living entities. Biological Weapon - Using a living organism (disease, virii, etc.) to harm living entities. Nuclear Weapon - Utilizing an uncontrolled nuclear fission reaction (atomic bomb) and/or radioactive materials ("dirty bomb") to cause destruction to living entities and inanimate objects. Needless to say, the production, possession, trade, and use of WMDs is and will remain a topic of contention and controversy.
