#5 Al Qaeda, several affiliates and other groups have been trying for some time to get hold of one or more tactical nukes, as well as chem and bio weapons and radiological materials for dirty bombs. FWIW

And yes, I know about delivery systems, aerosol dispersal issues w/ bioagents etc. The threat is real, difficulties notwithstanding.

And then there are the more standard kaboom plans, such as setting off a refinery. Also effective, if managed.

#7 I remember refinery fires on the southside of Chicago. Huge plumes with soot falling tens of miles away.

Now that would be a prime dispersal engine with a misting system to insert the agent into the rising smoke.
