Marcos very few states can produce weapons grade uranium and it's even possible to track the source of it, basically the only way terrorists are going to get their hands on it is if they get it from rogue states (like North korea for example) or if they steal it which Isis tried to do but kinda failed because it was not enriched enough.
as for AI, that's also not easy to get since it uses specialized programing and is only usefull for very specific battle field situations, terrorists just don't have the time, funds or know how to use it well.
the most realistic means of terrorists to gain WMD level weapons would be with chemical or biological agents, they are cheap, easy to make, hard to trace and highly destructive and with advances in laboratory gear even easier to make, technology like CRISPR could produce ebola-pox if it wanted to with enough time and funds, the results could be quite horrific, think millions not a few hundred or thousands.
sadly because it's not as flashy as nuclear weapons or AI most people overlook these types of terroristic threats.

@QWERTY-gp8fd like Germany or Japan? Im joking but simple numbers don't matter what matter is military supremacy and israel in that regard has both nuclear weapons, advanced AI, anti missle shields, billions of funds, massive support from the west and US, advanced cybersecurity and a highly nationalistic and military trained population, what more could you need? The idea that they need to wage wars or acts of aggresion and nobody can fight back or that they realy need western aid is just paranoid and delusional to me.
The days that israel is even threatened by anyone realy are over and they are the aggresors now, btw saudi arabia does the same and in many ways is even worse so lets not excuse one and allow the other but condem both sides and treat israel like any other nation instead of a special snowflake that can do no wrong and is weak yet somehow able to bomb, kill and annex lands if they feel like it, it's just bizzar to me and it hurts the west if we can't condem both sides in the region, after 2013 refugee crisis we don't want another US or israeli made crisis on our hands.

@TosiakiS ohhhh no you don't understand, im not saying they can't get their hands on the software, that's the easy part, im just saying terrorists specifically won't be able to make much use of it because it's one thing to have the software, the other is the hardware and weapons systems to make effective use of it, the amount of time and know how you need to make it work is just not something terrorists will be bothered with, unless they are state supported perhaps?
terrorists can buy a shit ton of TNT, poison, chemical weapons, explosives, make IED's or just commit acts of suicide bombing for way cheaper.
now will that always remain the same? who knows? but I doubt terrorists will make much use of it, it's just not practical for their type of asymetrical warfare.

@TosiakiS explosives are much simpler than most people think, in the west you need explosive experts to difuse bombs and mines safely and minimize damage, terrorists don't typically abide by those standards and are mostly focused on how to make things explode, IED's are quite simple to make, all you need is an explosive matterial which could be Nitrate or an incendiary material which could be gas, gasoline, alcohol, methonol most of which are easy to get, and a trigger and that's basically it.
some simple household chemicals can be used to syntheses some of those materials and you don't realy need an advanced chemisty degree to know how to make em, most of the know how is online and terrorist cells often copy blueprints and easy instruction manuals to spread information on how to make explosive.
now if your talking about the very big explosives, like say in rockets and military grade weapons, yeah those are bit harder to make since they use multiple layers for different types of rockets and use more highly explosive matterial which is both hard to find, make and turn into weapons, terrorists don't realy need those though, a simple pipebomb, some TNT and a car or IED gets the job done.
I studied chemistry for my laboratory degree, so I have some understanding on how explosives work.
