I think a "dirty bomb"..conventional explosives laced with radioactive material to be the most likely next weapon. There was a British made for TV movie about such an attack on London that aired on HBO..very chilling.

A radiological bomb (a "dirty bomb" is actually a nuclear weapon that creates a large amount of radioactive fallout) might scare the crap out of everyone but it really isn't that effective in killing large numbers of people. The conventional explosives will do more damage than the radioactive materials will do as they can be cleaned up.

The best WMD for the terrorists to use is a chemical weapon. Easy to make, easy to transport, and used correctly will cause mass casualties.

Very chilling indeed. And it may not be the deadliest weapon, but will really make a long-term mess of any place and cause an economic disastor.
