2020 Countering WMD Threats in Iraq

ISN/CTR administers threat reduction activities for Iraq in partnership with government, security, academic, public and veterinary health, and industrial communities to strengthen their ability to prevent Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) attacks. This program secures chemical and biological materials, dual-use equipment, technologies, expertise, and infrastructure to prevent their misuse by terrorists and other nefarious actors in Iraq. To accomplish this mission, the program sponsors efforts to identify and address chemical and biological security vulnerabilities and to detect and investigate early warning signs of WMD attacks.
