Sulfur mustard and nerve agents were used by Iraq against the Iranian military and Kurdish civilians. Most recently the nerve agent sarin, GB, was used by the Syrian military against their civilian population. Since the Japanese sarin attacks in 1994–1995 and the terrorist strikes of September 11, 2001, the all-too-real possibility of chemical or biological terrorism against civilian populations anywhere in the world has attracted increased attention.
