Bunn and Wier evaluate the important question of the feasibility of nuclear weapon construction by terrorists.  Charles Curtis addresses the question of whether demand for WMDs can be reduced.  Karen Douglas, et. al. investigated online self-enhancement strategies by White supremacist groups.  Similarly, Margaret Duffy presents an analysis of the online activities of American hate groups, as does Brian Levin in his article.  Iqbal and Zorn examine the political consequences of assassinations of heads of state.  Continuing the thread of discussion on nuclear terrorism, Simon Saradzhyan offers a case study of potential nuclear terrorism in Russia, and in her article Lynne Snowden explores the potentiality that violent extremists will attempt to develop or otherwise obtain nuclear weapons.  Micah Zenko presents an historical review of intelligence estimates of nuclear terrorism.
