A weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is defined as any weapon that is designed or intended to cause death or serious bodily injury through the release, dissemination or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals or their precursors, radioactive materials or their precursors, or any other substance or device that is capable of causing widespread damage or destruction of property. This includes chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, as well as other types of WMDs such as radiological dispersal devices (dirty bombs) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Bioterrorism refers specifically to the use of biological agents (such as viruses, bacteria, or toxins) for intentional harm, while biometrics refers to the use of physical or behavioral characteristics for identification purposes. Forensic terrorism is not a commonly used term in this context.
