Some recent variants and derivative terms for CBR


Explanation:
Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3ad...

Two items follow below.

1. In addition to Fuad's fine definition, some variants and derivative terms related to CBR
that have appeared in English-language media are:

CBRNE = CBR and N + E, where:

o N = weapons that upon detonation scatter fragments nuclear/radioactive materials ("dirty bombs") to contaminate a target area and rebder that area dangerously inhabitable for a long time

and

o E = high-energy ("high order detonation force") explosive charges (as in the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, OK) or flying fuel-laden aircraft into buildings

2. The generic "catch-all" term for CBRNE devices is "weapons of mass destruction" (abbrev: WMD), in the Arabic:

AsliHat al-demaar al-shaamil

أسلحة الدمار الشامل

Hope this helps.

Khair, in sha' Allah.
