Analysis of Chemical Terrorism Incidents in the World

Chemical assassination is a type of covert, specialized assassination that uses poisons and sophisticated delivery methods to create a death that appears natural or accidental. Given the sensitive position of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the West Asian region, and its flag-bearer in the fight against global arrogance and support for the oppressed of the world, the possibility of the enemy using unconventional methods of terror to physically eliminate the targeted individuals is conceivable. Chemical attacks constitute the majority of these incidents and account for nearly 89% of all chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) incidents. In this study, a comprehensive review of the history of terrorist operations with chemical compounds was conducted in order to determine the type of chemical compounds used, analyze global data in the field of chemical terrorism, the method of transferring the chemical to the subject, and the motivations and deterrents in using chemical agents or weapons. To this end, the history of chemical terror attacks described in open sources was examined. The scope and history of the use of these deadly and debilitating chemicals by two important intelligence organizations, namely the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Israeli Mossad, was also examined. The results of the study of the above-mentioned cases with a passive defense approach can make a significant contribution to various scientific and security fields, including facilitating analytical chemistry researchers to provide solutions for identifying these chemical compounds in different tissues. It also has an educational aspect for personal bodyguards
