Spectrum of Terrorist CBRN Threats
Al-Qa'ida and associated extremist
groups have a wide variety of potential agents and
delivery means to choose from for chemical, biological,
radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) attacks. Al-Qa'ida's end
goal is the use of CBRN to cause mass casualties;
however, most attacks by the group-and especially by
associated extremists-probably will be small scale,
incorporating relatively crude delivery means and easily
produced or obtained chemicals, toxins, or radiological
substances.

and our Troops duties abroad in places such as
Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia,

The Glock 19: Perfect Pistol for 9mm Fans?
In June of '03 I was lucky enough to attend the Glock
Tactical Pistol Course at Blackwater. The
combined strengths of the Glock staff and the
Blackwater Shooting Instructors made for a three day
learning experience that is unrivaled if you're a Glock
owner/shooter. For that school I used my Glock
Model 23 in .40S&W, but I was surrounded by shooters
using their 9mm Glocks. In fact, the instructional
staff at Blackwater voiced the opinion that the Glock
9mm pistol was probably the best pistol to have in
today's world. Why? Because the 9mm
round is so prevalent worldwide and the Glock pistols
are just so reliable.
