Chemical and Biological Weapons: Possession and Programs Past and Present
This chart summarizes data available from open sources. Precise assessment of a state's capabilities is difficult because most weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs were, and/or are, secret and cannot be independently assessed. States have been placed in the following categories: Known, Probable, Possible, Former, Weaponized Agents, and Research.
