Many countries and the international community made steady progress in the recent past in their attitude on how terrorist danger should be dealt with. The most important issues like vulnerability of the countries to terrorism, and how to minimize the damage and recover from terrorist attacks underwent improvement. Others, like the connection between counter-terrorism capabilities and investigations and the existing emergency management systems are under discussion. Nevertheless, mass traumatism and its sinister form - chemical terrorism, remain essential moments in National Strategies for Homeland Security. They are strategic points in the medical science due to the emergence of new types of pathology, which require development of adequate organizational, clinical and laboratory doctrines connected with the treatment of a large number of injured people. That includes also a new philosophy about scientific investigation. The Editors of theScientific series "Medical Aspects of Chemical and Biological Terrorism" in collaborationwith eminent scientists from different countries profess this new philosophy to help science combat terrorism throughout the world. They are applying the strategy of introducing different branches of knowledge in the aim of creating new methods and resources for antiterrorist action.
