Abstrak	The main characteristic of modern day terrorism is the use of indiscriminate violence to accomplish its objectives. However, only recently in the past decades, the terrorist threat increased its level of horror with the increased possibility of terrorist groups and organizations to use chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons (CBRN). Almost all member states of the United Nations agreed on controlling the development of nuclear energy and the prohibition of chemical and biological weapons. The international community has designed many mechanisms for arms control and proliferation of dangerous materials, like radiological waste or biological and chemical agents, which could be used to make weapons of mass destruction. The problem arises when it comes to non-state actors, such as terrorist groups and organizations. Despite the technological development and international laws, it is diffi cult to control their intentions. The mere perception that non-state actors, such as terrorist groups with unrestricted moral values, could obtain weapons made of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear origin, keeps the global security makers vigilant and focused on its prevention. It is necessary to monitor their activities and ambitions to acquire such capabilities. There are just enough recorded terrorist attempts to obtain dangerous substances in order to prepare improvised weapons of mass destruction not to dismiss the threat as unrealistic. The purpose of this paper is to consider the facts of the level of threat to national security, acknowledging the technical constraints and opportunities for terrorists to develop and use such weapons. The assessment will take in consideration the existence of several sponsor states of terrorism that could facilitate the proliferation of these weapons to the third party actors.
