Terrorism is the main threat.  It has existed long before the 20th century.  The Crusades were a reaction to medieval terrorism in Jerusalem.  The anarchist movement that began in the late 1800s, and which claimed President William McKinley as a victim (to assassination) in 1901, used terrorism.  In 1920, a bomb exploded in a crowd in the Wall Street district of Manhattan, killing 40 and injuring 400.  A warning note read, “Remember we will not tolerate any longer. Free the political prisoners or it will be sure death for all of you. American Anarchists Fighters.”  The criminals were never caught.

Both terrorism and violent anarchism seek to disrupt and defeat authority.  In 1995, a Japanese cult released poisonous nerve gas in a Tokyo subway, killing 12 and injuring thousands.  In late 1996, Japanese terrorists captured and held hostages at an embassy in Lima, Peru.  The oldest active terrorist group in the world is the Irish Republican Army (IRA), which has attacked and bombed Britain in an attempt to force it to relinquish control of Northern Ireland.

No one wants a terrorist to obtain a nuclear bomb.  Most developed countries signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968 as a way of keeping nuclear arms out of the hands of terrorists and rogue nations.  India and Pakistan never signed this treaty, and in 1998 both successfully detonated nuclear explosions in tests, proving that they have atomic bombs.
